This little cutie turns 7 today!
I made this wallhanging for him as a surprise Christmas gift.
It was based on his (very detailed) drawing of the train and I used the Scrap Applique Playground book by Kay Mackenzie to inspire the background and make the cute flowers. You can see some other things I made using the book here.
My son is pretty easy to make gifts for - I think I've made him the most quilts of anyone in our house!
This quilt I made for him another Christmas as a surprise - and he didn't like it!!
It was too big he said:(
(This quilt was a mystery quilt so it was fun for me to make!)
This was the latest quilt I made him - he was happier with the size! The bright blocks were blocks I made with my sister years ago. The back has train fabric and a strip of leftover blocks. This is the side that he has UP most often:)

I make quilts mostly for family and friends. I have also made quilts for Quilts of Valor, Hospice, and NICU for premies. And of course pillowcases for kids with cancer.
