Christmas quilt for stuffed animals
I told my 8 year old son we could do a quilting project together he drew out the design for a Christmas quilt for his stuffed animals. It ended up that he directed more than helped with sewing, but that's ok we had a fun time. I should've calculate the HST better but for the first time with no pattern, not too bad.

OK. couldn't load from my phone so had to kick the kids off the computer :)
One is the design Travis drew. Then the whole quilt and then closeups. He wanted it puffy so I used polyester batty (that I don't like to use to hand quilt) and doubled it up. Quilted in the ditch with green thread. He did help some with the sewing machine but I think I went too fast and freaked him out |

Wow what a lucky son to have you as his mom.
This quilt will become his favorite childhood memory. Thanks for sharing. |
I figure when he's older he can use it as a wall hanging :)
|
I love your interpretation of his design- it's great! What size is it
|
It looks perfect! You have a little artist on your hands! Maybe next time, he can do most of the sewing?! Tell him we love it!
|
Adorable. That's a great way to do something with your mom and have something to remember it with!
