Coleen and I met a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">lonnnnnnnng</span> time ago, back in the 90's ;) Coleen was the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">high school</span> chum of a boyfriend of mine way back when I was 19/20. I dated that boy for a few years and over those years got to know Coleen better and better. That boy broke up with me (whatever) but Coleen and continued to be friends and hang out. Then I moved back to Spokane and Coleen and I still keep in touch......Coleen became a momma on March 9<span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">th</span> to a little boy that she and her husband adopted. :) His name is <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Grayson</span> Samuel...this is a picture of Coleen and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">Grayson</span> (Mr. <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-error">Grayson</span> was very eager to meet his new momma and dad and decided to show up 5 weeks early and was in the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">NICU</span> for 10 or so days)<br /><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhheRsCABVdlGx2EmVAjWH-V0GwkDzUstO5JhVMYYTN3ANNBbo1SyhKFKh6W2MvbgkuZqAKKcxyvVj1QXW2gcE0gzj3QDPCmHDJjPkBocwU0YhyphenhyphenJUCtw49vNOjbldYDW3EgyJJamTaKLYM/s1600/coleen.bmp"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600025437513492370" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhheRsCABVdlGx2EmVAjWH-V0GwkDzUstO5JhVMYYTN3ANNBbo1SyhKFKh6W2MvbgkuZqAKKcxyvVj1QXW2gcE0gzj3QDPCmHDJjPkBocwU0YhyphenhyphenJUCtw49vNOjbldYDW3EgyJJamTaKLYM/s320/coleen.bmp" /></a> </p><br /><p>This is the quilt I came up with for <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">Grayson</span>, I was really tickled with how it came out....there are 432 2.5" <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">squares</span> in this little blanket, the smallest patchwork I have ever done.<br /><br /><br /><br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPt14PNmT5tCl9_7YCZqE_C-Kd0gJOHu1WLaQq0wwIsxr5TrtU_5M1nwuoSj8U5vvaQpvFkI8Bth7onolKj_VMq4B1v59pPowOzCsp4jiQYpnlmC9zwwwPWwLDC_0gVEprP0K2YGPobOo/s1600/018.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600025173173793346" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPt14PNmT5tCl9_7YCZqE_C-Kd0gJOHu1WLaQq0wwIsxr5TrtU_5M1nwuoSj8U5vvaQpvFkI8Bth7onolKj_VMq4B1v59pPowOzCsp4jiQYpnlmC9zwwwPWwLDC_0gVEprP0K2YGPobOo/s320/018.JPG" /></a><br />The theme of <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">Grayson's</span> room is monkey's....how lucky was I to find not only monkey flannel for the backing but monkey flannel fabric that coordinated with the quilt top.<br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjqK_0WFAagSxxMMEutWw2TN1C2Su0zbm94yXRhuYGzq23qdDUmBvPeGJ_3_ZmWnuLQKvQ-HqZ2HuFwDceJ-ngdzPFuKSPKfCsO95ComuWO8CeRwXAQLjcd-aFqFGj0YtRWQ7P4vYoKj8/s1600/019.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600024900198233218" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjqK_0WFAagSxxMMEutWw2TN1C2Su0zbm94yXRhuYGzq23qdDUmBvPeGJ_3_ZmWnuLQKvQ-HqZ2HuFwDceJ-ngdzPFuKSPKfCsO95ComuWO8CeRwXAQLjcd-aFqFGj0YtRWQ7P4vYoKj8/s320/019.JPG" /></a><br />(had to get a wee bit creative with the backing hence the strip of squares, someone (moi) was a few inches short when telling the gal at the cutting counter how much yardage was needed, oops...I think it turned out <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">ok<span style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff"> though.....</span></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEWwQHxo60OeUmqVpvV7bBVU-s6OdOqny6nXW75lbMkinuyJrtvwZxUJIsq_y5LigFBeq2vKLpIac_0kKXZ-O5shyphenhypheneAFWMnxxSB6LBPMH81O_fC5eVhV92opxnaLhulV-p7tDPvNBDKuI/s1600/021.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600024634496358578" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEWwQHxo60OeUmqVpvV7bBVU-s6OdOqny6nXW75lbMkinuyJrtvwZxUJIsq_y5LigFBeq2vKLpIac_0kKXZ-O5shyphenhypheneAFWMnxxSB6LBPMH81O_fC5eVhV92opxnaLhulV-p7tDPvNBDKuI/s320/021.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />....I think <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">Grayson</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_12" class="blsp-spelling-error">thinks</span> it turned out <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_13" class="blsp-spelling-error">ok</span> too!

It was a VERY hard transition for ME, not him but ME. Greg lived with us from March until mid June then moved back to his dad's. My husband and I knew it was a matter of time when Greg came back, not if Greg came back. Greg came back to live with us at the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">beginning</span> of October and will be staying with us until he graduates in 2 1/2 years unless things really change at his former home. With all of this being said, I knew if Greg was going to be living in our house, he too needed his own quilt made by me.<br /><br />This is what I came up with.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOb8y3QUVN3tZMk74ZCR32khyphenhyphenqONuX42k2-Vxu5-7EyosxYwb6JyhZ6Fu8MJdY-BanbPsUZtsNxrlmN2ALjlsTAci8hvcfInPTMtkOcFr5eWRaVxgPfv0KUGdd30oCukg0IBlELicKR3o/s1600/P1060699.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557016349971048498" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOb8y3QUVN3tZMk74ZCR32khyphenhyphenqONuX42k2-Vxu5-7EyosxYwb6JyhZ6Fu8MJdY-BanbPsUZtsNxrlmN2ALjlsTAci8hvcfInPTMtkOcFr5eWRaVxgPfv0KUGdd30oCukg0IBlELicKR3o/s320/P1060699.JPG" /></a> He loves it, I love it, I am so happy with how this turned out.

Jenny is my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">SIL's</span> cousin who had lost her mom to ovarian cancer in May and her daughter is Lucy.<br />After a busy summer with my kids and then getting back on track with our back to school routines I was ready to start on quilts for Jerry and Cathy, the husband and sister of Janet who had passed last spring.<br />This is what I came up with for Jerry. I used the pattern "<a href="http://crazymomquilts.blogspot.com/2010/08/fair-and-square-quilt-pattern.html">fair and square</a>" from Amanda at Crazy Mom Quilts. I LOVE this pattern, it was so easy and I think it really show cases the clothing and fabric that I used for his special throw.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmaOBdeqjaqd1tuDrRbicRNFY5-J8sGjoN00sRQS2L8pNu7lIvSv6jpbOvF7voNF7gFUEMUqsSnh9dMhSxxps-g1GyhLQ0ppvvdrVwzoH1V7FMOXWUsGoiOdYMXBieZ8YU976d6kAFBfE/s1600/P1060525.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548043315781983570" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmaOBdeqjaqd1tuDrRbicRNFY5-J8sGjoN00sRQS2L8pNu7lIvSv6jpbOvF7voNF7gFUEMUqsSnh9dMhSxxps-g1GyhLQ0ppvvdrVwzoH1V7FMOXWUsGoiOdYMXBieZ8YU976d6kAFBfE/s320/P1060525.JPG" /></a><br /><br />(The only thing I KICK myself for is not using my walking foot, so stupid, I will NEVER do that again, I was getting a little burned out from a lot of sewing so I thought I would save myself a few minutes and just whip through this project with my regular machine foot. NEVER again.)

I thought Jerry could put the remote in the pocket or some little snack like candy or just put his hand in the pocket like maybe he did when he and Janet would walk arm in arm on little strolls, maybe he put his hand in her pocket? I dunno, my little imagination working away, I was trying to think of things that might make him feel a little closer to her. :)</div><div> </div><div> </div><div></div><div></div><div>Next I did Cathy's quilt, Cathy is my <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">SIL's</span> mom, Janet's 1 and only sibling. I was at a loss of what to do.....then I started thinking about it and thought about a patchwork throw. Who doesn't love a nice <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">snugly</span> patchwork quilt? So patchwork it was. I was able to use more of a variety of fabric's with this one....pieces of clothing I had left and then a lot of feminine <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">florals</span> I had in my stash. I never had a sister. I only have brothers, or bothers I call them HA HA. I found myself thinking of Janet and Cathy laying under blankets or a patchwork quilt as young girls giggling and talking into the night. </div><div></div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjgukNxtcwtvn2YMx-nmEa0NeJcy5-Lwp48OsSVb4uEougzXKiUQvLEnigO7jL-FVGU6jvrUER1J0a_JpZB8KpgsPzJn9pxzQy23Rh09MDvZoFabnfz1hi8FB0jGGTY_yDMHaEE12x4Iw/s1600/P1060527.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548042511093081138" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjgukNxtcwtvn2YMx-nmEa0NeJcy5-Lwp48OsSVb4uEougzXKiUQvLEnigO7jL-FVGU6jvrUER1J0a_JpZB8KpgsPzJn9pxzQy23Rh09MDvZoFabnfz1hi8FB0jGGTY_yDMHaEE12x4Iw/s320/P1060527.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Now Cathy will have something for herself made from bits and pieces of Janet's clothing to snuggle under and keep her warm while I'm sure she thinks about her sister and all the memories they shared as kids, growing up, as adults, parents and then the heartache of being apart.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgBnAbcVhfsttTUwQKtovkLn4cDWVqOlZis3XEAfZWkh9HLlIR9wijtNXw8HzYpuYEJ2FbSXwyIAemPfXh4tA23NkU8be9aOo2mvCDRF7IfhOuh1rCZ6x07C6eGeA154KVX1Es01MGYl8/s1600/P1060528.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5548042177604233122" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgBnAbcVhfsttTUwQKtovkLn4cDWVqOlZis3XEAfZWkh9HLlIR9wijtNXw8HzYpuYEJ2FbSXwyIAemPfXh4tA23NkU8be9aOo2mvCDRF7IfhOuh1rCZ6x07C6eGeA154KVX1Es01MGYl8/s320/P1060528.JPG" /></a><br />Janet believed in Jesus Christ as her personal Savior as I do too.
