Benjamin's quilt















My dear friends (who of course used to live in Boston) had their 5th baby last month. I decided to make him a "cowboy quilt" and it arrived today. My friend left the nicest message on my voice mail that she loved the quilt. Thanks to my buddy Julie for doing the machine quilting (loopy loops) for me (I most definitely don't hate you).

Welcome Benjamin and enjoy your cowboy quilt!

This is cute! I have two preggo sisters and need to start two baby quilts soon. And I wrote my grandmother a letter, and my mom. And I'm going to write two more. Letters are fun!

This turned out really cute. Welcome to the world baby Benjamin!

Harry loved the card that had the old truck on it. I asked him what year the truck was and he didn't know. He said older than the one he's rebuilding. Over the last year he's been working on a 1954 chevy truck. He's not able to do a lot of the work anymore so he's turned it over to a friend and Trav. Soon as they paint it I'll sent you a picture! Thanks again Ellen, you're the best!
