Warren's quilt and birthday

My youngest grandson is a lover of tractors, farm animals, outside, and dirt so using Lori Holt's Farm Vintage book I created a farm quilt for his birthday.

He wasn't too happy about a photo at first but I finally caught a smile.

We celebrated his birthday at the park not far from his home.  He wanted a "blue" birthday.  Grandpa came through with a crazy flower candle.

His sister and cousins had fun digging in the sand.

The sand digging crew just kept growing . . .

and growing.  It was a beautiful March day in Arizona.

Birthday gift for a boy who loves trucks

My grandson turned two this spring.  I made him a play quilt.

It had to be a play quilt with working trucks and other construction vehicles.

He LOVES trucks.

I found this great fabric panel which was perfect.  I found the smaller plastic trucks and construction vehicles on Amazon.

I loved the black and yellow border and used binding in the same color to come up with the border effect.

I usually try to create a label for the back of my grandchildrens' quilts.

I loosely quilted it with my walking foot and Bernina 750.

I also found him a great book!

I am "2"

I made a quick trip to Arizona for a special birthday celebration.  It began at Joe's Barbecue which is a great place to go with kids.  They love the outdoor dining area.

Especially the trees which they love to climb.

 I just had to take photos of the Birthday Boy's beautiful sisters.

Birthday Boy was happiest standing on the fence next to the street and watching the trucks go by.

We journeyed back to his home for cake and ice cream.

The sisters had helped create a birthday cake with two trucks for two years.

 He was charmed. 

Now it was time to blow out the two candles also with some help.  Grandpa led us in two claps.  This little boy is so happy and loves his world and his extra "mother" sisters.  Happy Birthday!
