    Default my darling son's golden anchor

    I made this for my son who was in the Navy. THe ship he was on was the Boxer, the only ship in the Navy that had a golden anchor. IT was Petula Pinks free pattern, and im giving it to him for christmas this year. Was going to give it to him on his 30th birthday, but, i figured he could use it while its cold, cuz his birthday is in April.

    Wow, that’s fantastic! How big is it? It’ll mean a lot to your son. Please thank him for his service for me.

    Having been a Navy daughter as well as a Navy wife I had to look up the Golden Anchor. Congratulations to your son's ship and to him. He will love your quilt.
