We had Christmas with my inlaws on the 24th. We also had a special guest here, I will call him my 4th son. So while the 4 boys were playing wii and wrestling I finished the binding on this quilt.
That is how it always works right? I bound it in the teal
And the great news is - my Mother in Law loved it!! yay!!
They are true cowboys - so we have the sedona desert colors on the front, and saguro cactus's ( Cacti??) and cowboys!!
We came home from there and after playing Texas Hold em with the boys... I cleaned them out! I finished binding this one... a Tshirt quilt for my dad.
These are T shirts from the Departments that were involved in the Twin Towers on 9/11
and the back....
I have enjoyed following the finished fridays at crazymomquilts.blogspot.com and http://confessionsofafabricaddict.blogspot.com/ It has inspired me to finish a few things, and not wait till the next year .....
I love your quilts, what a great idea of using the colors of the desert on the quilt!
