| Friendship Star, back |
It's lived on and off my couch. But was recently adopted by a boy with a cold. After the boy recovered from the cold, the quilt never made it back to the couch. And after a recent washing, the quilt was smuggled back to the bunk bed of this boy.

| Coughing boy with well washed quilt; present day. |
Poor asthmatic boy is sick again. Another cold. I can't do anything for him but give him love and hold his inhaler for him until he recovers. So, I decided to add the missing piece to my friendship star quilt.

| Quilts deserve love, and labels. |
He came over while I was stitching, and asked what I was doing. I said, "Well, I can't decide whether this should say Mom or Mommy." When he realized it was for him, he gave me a hug, and said, "MOMMY!" That's better than just about anything from a very cool 9 year old, don't you think?
Linking up to finish it up Friday @ crazymomquilts I'm calling this one officially finished.
I really enjoyed how happy this made Evan today. Thanks for sharing your craftiness and your love with our family
ReplyDeleteA lovely quilt for such a loving boy. Hope Evan feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice quilt in friendship star. Hope your little sun will soon be well!
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt. Inspired to do one too :)
ReplyDeleteI love quilts with primary, secondary, and tertiary patterns. This has them all, and it's fabulous! Isn't it wonderful when boys and girls love the quilts moms make for them? Lovely label, too. Did you embroider it or use a pen?
ReplyDeleteThank you! My husband calls them "dizzy quilts", if they make him dizzy, he loves them. I do too. The label is embroidered over pencil. I wanted something that would hold up to the washings a boy's quilt requires.
DeleteBeautiful and so joyful!
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely quilt. I love the colors and the patterns. Isn't it great how quilts can be a bit of mommy love to a sick child? And I love that he calls you Mommy. My great big 17 year old son still calls me "Momma" and it does warm my heart.
ReplyDeleteVery nice quilt. It is clear that it will be well-loved.
ReplyDeleteAwesome story to go with a cool quilt !
