When Kevin was a young man, his grandma wanted to make him a quilt. So Kevin drew up a design, and went to the fabric store with his grandma. He was really into snakes at that time *shudder*, so the quilt would be of a snake, of course!
His grandma made the quilt just the way he wanted it, and then she made it just the way she wanted it. You see, the snake is quilted as any snake should be when they are quilted, but the rest of the quilt was her domain. The cream background is filled with quilted pictures. It is truly a work of art!
The quilt is for a queen size bed. It was a labor of love!
It is on display in our living room, with several other quilts that his grandma made.

Hi I looked at your list. I am now pondering my own list. Only I think that I will have to add that I am not allowed to start any more projects until the projects on the list ase crossed off!! Now you have me thinking!!
The best part is that you even have the quilt folded just right to display the snake! :) What a special gift...
Wow, this is amazing work. I love those old quilts... women put so much love and hard work into making them beautiful and durable.

Hello Tammy,
I realize it's been quite awhile since my last visit. We moved from San Diego to Vegas and are now settled in! Finally.
I hope to start stopping by more regularly.
