I love that the boy is so into the quilting. I am going to show this posting to my GD, hoping that she will take any kind of interest in a sewing machine. And if she does, I hope you don't live in TN, because anything she makes will be entered in the fair here (and of course I would want her to win).
Ricky Tims may be about ready to retire when your son comes into his own. Show him some of RT's work. He is amazing; and a wonderful entertainer to boot.
