Ryan has really been wanting to make a quilt. Maybe Melissa inspired him when she was here and made hers. Blake is always wrapping up in one that Grandma Collins made for us--maybe he is envious of that--I don't know. He has been asking and asking when he could get started. I was a little hesitant that he could do it. If you don't keep the seams straight and even, the blocks won't line up when you sew the seams together. I finally gave in and let him give it a try. Much to my suprise--he did great! When I thought about the kind of person that he is, I shouldn't have been so surprised. He is exact and concise in a lot of things that he does. I cut the blocks out and he sewed them together into strips. I didn't think he would be able to sew the strips together, but once again I was surprised.
Ryan caught on to tying the quilt pretty quickly. At first he was a little embarrassed because he thought that sewing was only for girls. I assured him that boys can also enjoy sew and many fashion designers are men.
He was pleased with how soft and cozy his blanket feels. He wanted to take a nap with it.
He was so proud of himself--and so was I! Great job, Ryan!
Great job, Bones! Whoot woo! Remember, the inventor of the sewing machine, Elias Howe was a man!
