“Twitterpated”
We all know Bambi and Faline from Disney’s movie “Bambi” ,right? One of my favorite lines is when Thumper says “their “twitterpated” which means they’re “in loooooooove”. That’s what I thought of when I took this picture…..
Aren’t they just the cutest!! This is a picture of #1 son Nick and his girlfriend Renae. Ah, young love….. hard to imagine what he sees in her isn’t it! Is she beautiful or what! And as a mom, I can say she is a really nice girl too. That goes a long way in my book. He needs someone to keep him in line. She’s a good influence on him. I think “he’s got it bad” if you know what I mean!
He just made his very first quilt, here it is below, (picture taken with his phone) he used a combination of Summer In The City fabrics by Urban Chicks and also Chez Moi both by Moda. I should add that he gave it to Renae. Shows how mom rates! Anyway, now Renae’s mom wants him to make her a table runner! I informed him, “it’s always a good idea to make brownie points with the girlfriend’s mother”.
He’s planning his next quilt already and bought his first quilting book. Happy Hour by Terry Atkinson. He’s all excited about picking fabrics and starting on the next project. Nick is the only one of my 5 children (at least so far) that has any interest in quilting. And to think when he was a kid, he hated going to fabric stores with me and grandma! Now he claims “it’s in his genes”. Now all of this is great with me except for one thing…….. he’s got MY sewing machine and doesn’t want to give it back!! I think I might have to find him his own machine soon!

That’s all for now!

OHMYGOSH that's such a coincidence, Frankie just took my little travel machine home with her and today was sewing. Elizabeth and I went to visit her and went to a quilt shop and she was interested in fabric and talked about making a quilt. BE STILL MY HEART!!
He's a doll!! So cute just like his adorable mom!

Welcome Tammy!!!
I think your son using your sewing machine is the perfect excuse to buy a new one for yourself----carpe "machinum"!
