Makes a Momma Proud
I'm a part of a Flickr group where we make a quilt block for each person; in the same group I signed up to swap doll quilts! The idea was that we'd get a partner and we'd make a doll quilt based on their kid's likes. Jerrett took this very seriously and had to be a part of the entire process. He planned the design, drew the best dinosaurs ever using fabric markers, sewed the borders around the white blocks with very little help from me and used the iron for the first time. He was so proud of himself but I think I was even more proud of him! He told me "Mom, the quilt world just got a new member!". Sigh. I have the best kid ever! This doll quilt is going to 2 brothers in Australia who are 8 and 5 so we thought goodie bags would be fun! They're filled with stickers, dino pencils, erasers, a kazoo, mini water gun, and plastic dino figures. We also made them activity packets that have coloring pages, puzzles, and other learning activity sheets.
The back is some dinosaur fabric I found on Etsy for pretty cheap and the quilting is dino footprints (on the dark blue fabric only) that Jerrett drew on and I quilted.
