    Default Take Me Home

    Last year my Grandson was complementing me on my quilts and telling me how much he liked them. Then he said that the quilt he had, he'd bought at Goodwill. I responded......"Hint, hint....I got it already." He said "Oh no...I was not hinting." I reassured him it was okay that I was not offended and I would be pleased to make him a quilt. I already had in mind what I was going to make :-)

    I had seen a quilt that was quilted by Member BeckySt that I had really liked and had always wanted to make one similar. My Grandson works in a coal mine in WV and the more I thought about it, the more I felt this would be perfect for him. He absolutely loved it!!! Can't thank me enough for it. I called it "Take Me Home" because it reminded me not only of WV but also the song sang by John Denver. Hope you like it :-) Thank you for BeckySt for quilting it...you did a fabulous job. Thank you everyone for looking.
