JanRN, do a search with "sensory fabrics for kids" and there are tons of ideals by age. Sounds like a wonderful idea, so nice of you to want to help him. I like what Barb said about it too. Fleece would be 'cuddly' when he wrapped himself into it. There are patterns for tents and tepees now too. to make an area just for him to play in.

buttons and zippers are ok as well as pockets somewhere so he could tuck something special in there..My GS just turned four and he was so thrilled to discover that he could put his matchbox cars in his pants pockets when he just turned 3...Also proud of himself to be able to zip up his hoodie jacket. maybe small straps with snaps on them to snap closed and the to pull apart to open.. I have some Minkee squares if you want them...let me know. H.

I agree. Buttons, zippers, pockets are important. If he is going to have some self sufficiency it is easier for him to learn about the above when he is young. The more he learns now, the better off he will be when he is older. What a kind thing to do , Jan.

Okay, so tonight I went through the blocks that I don't have done and those to do in the future. I have some fun kangaroo and Aussie flag fabric from QE to use for a mirabelle block. I also want to include Anael in an International block, but the Netherlands flag is just 3 horizontal red-white-blue bars. So I came up with a block for Anael that would substitute for some of those Y seam blocks we all love to hate. So here's Tulips for Anael. And there's a PP attachment as well as a Rotary cut attachment in PDF format. Enjoy. Now the Canadians--need to come up with something for you, too![ATTACH=CONFIG]356745[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]356746[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]356747[/ATTACH]

Oh that looks great - I think we all should do this block for Anael!

QuiltingNinaSue 08-20-2012 04:11 AM

Me, too. I agree. And the Maple leaf for Canada. And what for Mirabelle?

That will be one of my substitute blocks. Thanks, OKSewglad.

Does anyone have the Maple Leaf in our size that they can share???

QuiltingNinaSue 08-20-2012 12:00 PM

Some one needs to take the Maple leaf block from from FWQ and size it up two inches...in EQ. I plan on using the tulip in place of the pig's tail. Love it when we all chat all week long, always something to read every morning, and in the afternoons.

I miss you'all when you are gone to retreats or, like QuiltE AWOL, for awhile.
