Anyway, when I showed them the reaction from my brother was like....what is it....and he had nothing to say. Just shrugged his shoulders. I was planning to make him a quilt this next year to give him as a gift next year and in fact have already bought some embroidery designs I was going to use on it but now am really wondering if I should go to the trouble. I did make him a pillow this year. I machine embroidered Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus on it with the words Holy Night and my brother could not tear his self away from the derned football game to even look at what I made them. Hurt my feelings although my sister really liked her pillow.
Uh no do not make him a quilt. Get him a fleece blanky now from Christmas clearance sales and give it next Christmas.
