Jonathan Unwraps His Quilt!

Earlier this year I joined Randi's Road to Spring Quilt-Along and finished a quilt that I posted about here. It's even pictured on my Flickr account button on the sidebar.

However, I knew that Jonathan would never suspect that I was making it for him even when I was sewing the pieces in plain view. Well, the quilt has been all done for a few months now and hidden away for Christmas morning. Yay! I finished without a hectic rush at the last minute!

Then...I realized a couple of weeks ago that I had forgotten to sew a label on the back. Oh, my! With company arriving and all the cooking and Christmas activities, would you believe that on Christmas Eve night I was hidden away in my closet sewing that label on at midnight?!

I told the girls later that it just wouldn't be Christmas if I weren't finishing up a craft project into the wee hours of Christmas morning!

Here's Jonathan opening his quilt:

I couldn't believe that one of the first things he said was, "Where's the label?" Now I'm glad that I went ahead and put it on instead of saying I'd add it later!

I think he likes the idea that I made him a quilt!

Priceless!

What a priceless gift. I like the 'manly' colors too. I'm sure he will always enjoy it. Happy new year to your family.

Success! I just had to laugh at the mental image of you holed up on Christmas Eve making that label! LOL I loved that pattern and have considered making my boys quilts from the same one. When they are home they love curling up with the one I made.

Nice quilt! Funny about the label.

Did you get snow?We had 8 inches that fell from Saturday night to Sunday morning.

I don't think I realized it was so big when you showed it before... you realy get a feel for that when he is holding it up! Its beautiful and you can see from the look on his face that he loved it!

I'm impressed that you could hide in your closet.... I can't even get in any of my closets because they are full of stuff!!!! I LOVE the colors that you used in the quilt. What a wonderful gift. I'm sure Jonathan will treasure it forever.

Happy New Year!
