Several weeks ago, I posted a request in our classifieds section, requesting a swap -- I wanted MM fabric and would trade some stash for it -- so I could make a MM quilt for the son of a friend of mine.
Wow! Several people responded and offered fabric, but not one wanted to swap, just to give a gift. I felt (and still feel) so grateful to each of them. There was so much fabric!! I made a quilt, a bag, a couple of appliques for shirts, and a halloween trick or treat bag! Thank you very, very much to the wonderfully generous quilters from this board: DebJ, SusanF, live2teach, zyxquilts, amma, and SarahVincent!! I did finish and mail it last week, they'll probably get it today. The quilt picture is before it was washed, so some markings show, but they washed out completely. The label has the quilt name "Mad About The Mouse" and the screen names of the everyone who donated fabric. I used a fabric marker to write it on the backing. http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...s/DSC00946.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...s/DSC00948.jpg http://i229.photobucket.com/albums/e...s/DSC00952.jpg The other things were photographed with my daughter's camera (my batteries had died), and I don't have that here right now...as soon as she comes over again I'll download them. Thank you so much for contributing the Mickey Mouse fabrics. Corey is 3 and has Down Syndrome. He absolutely *loves* Mickey! If his mom says okay, I'll post a picture of him with his loot. rf |

How awesome! That kind of thing is what makes me glad I found this site! Everyone is so supportive and jumps right in to help one another! I love it! Nice quilt I am sure your little recipient loved it just as well.

Very nice work. And thanks to those that contributed fabric to you.
Everyone here is really very sweet and kind hearted. I think that is a trait that quilters carry. Kyia |
I'll bet it's with him right now! (Doesn't matter what time you're looking at this. . .) :D
|
I had wondered if you had completed the quilt. I just happened to search for it, I'm so glad I found it. It looks great. I bet he loved it.

Great job!
There is going to be one happy little boy! |
Mickey himself would give a double thumbs up on these :thumbup: :thumbup: You did awesome, I can't wait to see the other items! :D :D :D

What a sweet, sweet story and cute, cute quilt and bag!
I'm also making (or hope to make in the near future) a Mickey Mouse quilt. I have the fabric you used for the back. I'm going to do big 12" blocks, and also use, red, yellow, and blue...and I got some Spider-man Fabric the other day that I'm also going to use. My son likes MM and S-M really well, so I thought I'd just add Spidey in there since I needed one more color! BUT...that's after I get my DD's quilt finished I started in August..... Your quilt looks great!~ |
What a nice story! This is the most wonderful group! I am so glad I found this site (although I really spend too much time on it!).
Your quilt & bag are darling. Jo |
I love mickey mouse you did a wonderful job.
