Little Gingerbread Boy

This is a sentimental quilt.

I was asked to finish this quilt up

by the GRANDson of the maker.

He's a NEW daddy.

I happened to give his new baby a quilt.....

so....he asked if I could do this favor for him.

This is what I began with.

It's totally hand pieced and hand appliqued!!!!

The stitches aren't super close together.

I bet if you saw this at the thrift store you wouldn't think of finishing it.

But.....

You're not a relative of the maker.

You didn't hear

The Little Gingerbread Boy read to you

over and over again

by the lady who pieced this one!

This quilt holds more than stitches.

It holds

SWEET. SWEET. MEMORIES!!!!!

And then...

I thought I'd send you a chuckle today.

I didn't notice my mistake here

until I was at the ironing board!!!

Oh I had a good LOUD long laugh!!!

Felt good!

So...

I was hoping you'd laugh along with me.

That's always more fun!!!!

I even TRIMMED it wrong and didn't notice!!!!

Do you think I might be in a hurry once in a while????

Yeah!

That's kinda the way I work!!
