One big item on Kallie's before college bucket list was to make a quilt. I love making quilts, but haven't in a few years because of moving, babies, life, etc. I was just happy I could remember how to set it up and found all the parts! We had purchased all the supplies months ago, and it has just been hanging out in the basement. One day we got energy and decided today was the day!
Kal's a natural. Once we got the quilt on the frames and pinned down, I showed Kal how to tie one or two and she was on a roll! Kal brought down her laptop, turned on Bones, and was off to the races! We got the whole quilt tied in a day and a half (this one is a king size). Nick really wanted to help, but was just a little too short, but Zack joined in with us!
Someone was so excited to cuddle up in her new blanket she couldn't wait till it was all tied and quilted. Finally, we did the last stitch! She (and her back) were thrilled!
We got the sides trimmed and pinned and then she was off to sew it. She was so excited to cuddle up with her blanket and read a book....unfortunately Zack beat her to it....
Don't feel too bad for her though - between getting her wisdom teeth out, having to sleep on the couch, late night movies, and Sunday naps - she's had her fair share of blanket time...
