Ben wants Pirate Bedroom- guess who gets to make the quilt!

Ben, age 4, decided he wants a Pirate theme for his bedroom.  And, he wants the skull and bones in Pink!  Because he really likes pink, it is his 'favorite' color.  I am sewing strictly from stash.  Lucky I had a piece of pink that wasn't being used-lol  I have yardage of a red and tan stripe that will fit the back and have enough left over to make a couple of pillow cases.  I am guessing that now that he is four, his 'beautiful pony' phase is over and I can look forward to making eye patches and head bands and hats.  Gotta love the Grandkids!!

Happy B-Day Grandson, Ben is 3!

This b-day quilt has a little of everything in it.

The 8 1/2" scrappy blocks have been sitting in my orphan pile for many years.

Ben is the only grandkid that expressed any interest in having them sewn into a keepsake quilt.

This turned out a little 'eye spy'

It is set in a D-9 pattern with additional borders.

His name was added as raw-edge applique'

I am not normally a gal to do bindings but I had scraps of this zebra print that just begged to get put to use.

I hope Ben enjoys this snuggle under quilt as much as I have enjoyed making it for him.

Ben turned 2!

When we ask Ben “How Old are You?” He says: “IT’S MY BIRTHDAY”

He finally got around to saying: “I’m two” and then he grins. What a ham!

This turtle toy was a hit, it bounces and rocks and makes noise. Sarah made the cake.The kids helped Decorate- good job (?)

Big Bro. Andrew is in line for cake-

Cousin Karlee is 2 1/2, when I said wow, Ben is as old as you are! She said: “I Don’t think so!- I’m not a baby”
