My little boy had a birthday yesterday. He is now 41 years old. Unbelievable. I can hardly believe I'M 41 years old! Anyway, I wanted to make a special quilt for him. He would not give me any quidelines, so I just did what I wanted. :)
I'm happy with it. I just hope he is. We're having some birthday cake and ice cream here later today, and I'll find out then.
I included some of his favorite things - the sea and fishing and boats.
Lighthouses, and how do you like those guitars? My son plays in a band when he's not working at his grown-up job.
Dad made this shark-y coat rack for him. I think it's AWESOME!!! I know he'll like it.
Family is so important to me. Maybe because I did not have the greatest childhood in the world, I really wanted our children to have a homelife they would look back on with pleasure. Home, to me, seems to be the place in the world where you should always feel safe and loved.
I hope you're feeling that way right now!
Hugs and kisses,
Edited to add: He loved the quilt and the coat rack!

I love that quilt! Karmen
Wonderful gifts! I love the quilt -- I was looking at it trying to figure out if there was some pattern to the way you laid out the blocks -- it looks fabulous. And that coat rack is very cool too!
Congrats to your son's 41 birthday!
The quilt is gorgeous...love the fabrics and the squares. There is somthing about these square quilts, they make me happy and one of these days I will make one too. LOL
You are a busy person , you whip those quilts up while I am still thinking about how to go about . I thought he would like the coathanger it is very original.
Hey I'm 41 too! (not) BUt I know exactly how you feel. This came together perfectly. I love it and I"m sure he will too, for many years to come.
How beautiful is that quilt and how wonderful is the rack! Yes, family is the most important thing.......I think. So glad you have such wonderful family times. blessings,Kathleen
