Shhh. Don't tell

I told you on Sunday that I was helping Matthew with a project for Whitney. He really should have asked me in September or October. But to give him credit, it ended up bigger than he originally thought and the whole thing kind of took on a life of it's own. But he is pleased with the finished product and I am sure Whitney is going to love it. But if I let you see a sneak peek at it, you have to promise not to tell her what it is. I have threatned all of the kids within an inch of their lives if they breath so much as a hint. If they even think about it when she is around, they are in big trouble. So, you have been warned.

And if by chance you are on the computer today, Whitney, and reading my blog today, then stop right now and close this window.






Matt picked out the fabric and I did everything on the sewing machine
Here I am showing him how to tie it

We had to move all the furniture and stack it on top of itself because instead of being a twin size, we ended up with about a queen size.

I am standing at the corner to take this picture
Those are my grandmother's quilting frames. I have a set of my own, but I got my grandmother's when she died. I remember playing under so many quilts on these frames as a child.

Indeed.

What a sweet boy he is. I was telling him that I have no idea how I got such a great son. He cooks, cleans, thinks of others and now he ties quilts!

But then she did paint his room...

WOW! now THAT is a project. I'm impressed that he came up with the idea AND that he actually did it. (with help from "mom" of course)
