Sometimes people come into your life in an unexpected Way....Sam is one of those. Our nieces' son.....precious 11 year old who is going to set the "world on fire"....someday.
My hub had wanted to have him over for a visit for awhile now..... now it is a memory, but they had fun together.
Sam got to ride the lawn mower last night and then mowed grass today.
They did target shooting and more would have happened but the weather wasn't that cooperative, plus my hub had jet lag from several night shift work and battling the "cold" that is going around here rampant..... so, Sam shared.....
" I really want to make a quilt!" .... I was floored and
thrilled at the same time.
Then last night my mind was full of ideas and always came back to the modern look and the straight line stitching.....so, this morning, he found a simple 4 block center pattern that was surrounded by longer pieces, etc.....he went to my bolts of fabric and came to his decisions of colors.
We cut them out, measured, figured out how to put it together and away he went.

Yep!! he sewed the blocks together as he let me direct him and then while he mowed I hurried and loaded up the quilt.
We then hurriedly did as many rows of horizontal of quilting and then I finished a bright binding on it that he chose.....he had to be home around 5pm so he could care for some animals of friends who got "away" for the weekend.
The quilt turned out "wonderfully good!!" and all in just 6 hours time and it was the first time he had done any stitching!!.....he is something else!!!.....a breath of fresh young air!!......
He has energy and imagination with a cooperative attitude and helpful spirit.
Blessings to Mama Emily you did so good with him!!
He is a keeper....now our keeper too!!
Thanks Sam the Man!!........We had a great time!!
A Blessing we were not expecting but oh, so take it!!! take you!!!
