To Infinity and Beyond!

In this post about my new sewing table there was a glimpse of some black and white checkerboards that I was preparing for a quilt.
So here they are in a quilt for one of my grandsons. He is obsessed with Toy Story, obviously, and I was able to find assorted Toy Story fabrics on E-bay to put in the quilt and everything else is from my stash. He is in pre-school now and brings a quilt to school for nap so this will be used for that I imagine.
He'll be Woody for Halloween. I made a little Woody vest for him for Halloween but forgot to take a picture but it came out cute. I like putting black and white in quilts. It tones down all the primary colors and makes a simple quilt a little more interesting. I even put black and white in pastel quilts as well. Now I just need to come up with an idea for a quilt for his little brother. The wheels are turning.

  3. I have just returned from a day of substitute teaching in a pre-school. Nap time is when one needs something to look at in case you don't feel sleepy. He'll be all set!

I pray that risen from the dead,
In glory I will stand,
A crown perhaps upon my head,
And a needle in my hand.
