I am really starting to LOVE quilting!!!
that he knew nothing about...pretty good secret keeper, huh!!!
I could only work on it when he was at work.
Anyway, I still have to do the backing and stipple it...which I am so excited about!!!
I wanted to use a bunch of his old work shirts...
but it was hard to work with that material...so I used the one block and will try to figure something out with the rest of the shirts!!!
I was worried it would be too cheesy...
You know...fireman...patriotic...
But I am loving how it turned out.
Hopefully it will get done quicker now that I can work on it out in the open, cause now he knows about it!!!

I am doing this quilt with the Old Red Barn quilt-a-long!!!
It has been so much fun to do.
I have 'met' some really neat ladies who really know what they are doing.
And hopefully...Dana will continue...and keep doing quilt-a-long after quilt-a-long!!!
So much fun!!!

ALSO...
Cassi is passing on her crazy outfit gene down to Elsie.
Cassi always has some pretty crazy outfits.
I love it.
It fits her personality to a 'T'!!!
So when I saw her in this today...
How great is that!!!
Then later on today I saw Elsie playing outside in her 'Restaurant'
And she had this tiny chefs hat smashed on her head!!!
The hat came with some toy kitchen stuff, and I think it was meant for a doll, 'cause it never fit the girls...
Anyway...I thought it was pretty cute too!!
Crazy kids and their imaginations!!!
LOVE IT!!!

What a neat quilt! I love homemade quilts they always have so much meaning and memories in there no matter what. I'm sure Benji loves it. What a great wife he has!!
I love the hat on Cassie and Elsie. So funny! My connor is the same way. He always has something funny on his head and someone elses shoes or boots. Kids are so fun! So neat that they can keep us laughing and keep us young!

It is always fun to see what cassi will come up with next... and I need to come over again so I can eat at Elsie's restaurant..
