Elliott's Quilt

I made this for my son Elliott.The blocks are top stitched with glow in the dark thread which took 6 spools of thread. In the quilting guild that I belong to we have what we call friendship blocks. It works like this we choose the block and then the guild makes the blocks for you. You can provide the fabric or not.I provided the fabric and the group just made the stars because I wanted to sew them with the glow in the dark thread to make them the same. It's a fun way to do a quilt.
Tomorrow he starts a new job working at the YMCA as a preschool teacher helper. This is a job that I think he will do very well at and I am so very proud of him.

Being a mom of a child with special needs is not easy but things like Elliott getting a new job that he is going to ROCK at made everything that I have done to help him get to this space in time a good thing.I'm proud of both of us we did it together just Elliott and I.

Wow! time flys when your busy. School has started for Spencer he is now in full time kindergarten. It has been a challenge.He seems to be having a great time recess seems to be his favorite part of school right now. He does love to read and do art this is a picture that he made for me. He is into traffic lights and signals, I love the colors pink and purple. It's times like this that make me smile from the inside out. I sure do Love this boy named Spencer.
Smiles from the inside out are a Good thing right now in this world of darkness and coldness. I believe in the light of good and I know that the good will over come.There will be light again.

Making Punkie feel better

Sunday I took a quilt to my big sister who has bone cancer. This is a quilt that I made for her a little while ago but haven't had time to get it to her. She loves tea party's so I called this "Sisters Having Tea On Sunday" It was made out some blocks that I won that were made out this really neat tea pot and teacup fabrics in her favorite colors.I'm hoping that it made her feel better and will keep her warm.
I'm sure that Spencer helped her feel better dancing with her bear to a silly song. She seemed a little happier when we left. My other sister brought her a new kitten anything at this point to make her feel better. The kitten sure was fun to watch.
