My sons quilt
 

My son came to me on Monday night and asked if I would help him make a quilt for a friend by Saturday. Took him shopping Tuesday then taught him how to cut out the blocks. We, I should say he started sewing the blocks together while I assisted with cutting since we were on a time crunch. He did a really good job but the blocks strips and the fact that Saturday was closing in quickly started stressing him out so I stepped in to help and finally got it finished it today.

So proud of him. He picked the fabrics, the design and how he wanted it quilted.

Heres is his friends quilt which she loves.

Thanks for stopping to take a peak

He did a. Great job! And you are a wonderful mom to step in on such short notice!

He did great. I think it prevents discouragement to lend a helping hand when needed. Nice work, Mom.

nicely done

Wow, a completed quilt in 3 days!? He did a good job but next time ask for a little more time.

Nice teamwork! He's a very thoughtful boy (even tho' a little unsure of time management - that only comes with experience!).

Great quilt and great job by the two of you!

You both did a great job!!

Wonderful quilt. So nice of your son to do this for a friend and you're a good mom to make sure it got done.

Bravo! The young man deserves applause for designing a lovely quilt, making most of it, and of course the initiative for wanting to make a quilt for a friend!

Nice quilt!

he did a nice job!!very pretty!!!

Great quilt. What sweetie he is to want to make a quilt for his friend.

Nicely done!

I am really impressed with his work and dedication. What a nice young man to want to do something like this for a friend. And how wonderful of you to help him get his gift completed. The friend is a lucky person.

Kudos!!! From start to finish you showed what a good mom you are - and it is also apparent in what a kind and giving young man you have raised. You could have said no - there was not enough time - or discouraged him in other ways - but you supported what he wanted to do - and then offered the guidance and help that was needed when it was needed. Great story - and great cooperative quilt. Lucky girl too.

What a nice gift for his friend. I'm sure she loved it.

Sounds like you have raised a great kid , hope he knows what a great mom he has to help with this on short notice. I'm sure his friend (are you sure it's not a girlfriend?) will love her new quilt.

that looks great!

What a wonderful gift for his friend! I love the first pic with him. His long hair, jacket hanging off his shoulder, leaning on the table as he presses his seams. What a moment in time!!

Great quilt, beautiful colors! You have a wonderful son, and his friend is very lucky. Hope he knows how lucky he is to have a loving mom!

awesome stuff... cherish these times together. My sons are now 29 and 26 : (
they grow up too fast.

crush time sewing. My one daughter is particularly good with that. "Mom, I need a costume by Saturday." Thank goodness they have not presented with needing a quilt in a couple of days.

How great is that!!

WOW! That was quick work and so beautiful! Nice, nice, nice. And what could be better than helping your child? :thumbup:

What a great job he did. You must be so proud. Thx for sharing.

What a great job he did. There are so many men involved in the quilting industry. John Flynn is always the first to pop in my mine. Just meet a big biker guy in the fabric dept at Hobby Lobby and he is learning to quilt from his MIL.

What a great job he (and you) did. Great looking.

Terrific job. Great team work.

A fun "together" project! Nice work.

Together you both did a fantastic job.

Nicely done. Luann

Wow! Nice job.

He did an awesome job, even if you had to step in to meet the deadline - a great collaborative effort. You should be very proud of him for wanting to make such a beautiful quilt.

Beautiful!!! Is his friend a Delta Gamma? I am, too. Those are our colors and our pin is an anchor.

My sons' involvement in quilting stopped at hanging out in the sewing room to chat on occasion. Lucky mom-lucky son-lucky friend!

He did an awesome job. The quilt turned out beautiful

great job on a very nice quilt!!!!!!

Good for you Mom! And some young lady got an awesome Valentine's present!
