My first quilt was a Astronaut- the suit and boot parts (applique) with gloves sewn where the little guy could put his hands through to give hugs while in bed. I was in high school and the school secretary knew I did sewing for some teachers (mending and alterations). So she asked if I would be interested. Took the magazine home with me to showed my mom and we did it together. It fit a twin bed and for her son that was about 7 or 8 years old. I remember making a pillow case that had the helmet on it, so it would look like a whole suit with helmet. When I can find the only photo we took that happens to be a polaroid, I will scan and upload here. This would of been aroundd 1976 or so. I didn't do much quilting for about 10 years, was more into sewing clothes and I did ALOT of that. So now I do both, and my grandbabies and attest to that.
