My son came to spend the night with us last night ( he is 33). Daddy is going to drive him to the airport.

Anyway, I came in the kitchen to make the coffee and the den is right off the kitchen. There he was, sleeping on the couch, wrapped up in a quilt (I have them everywhere lol), and Dude (dog) on a rug on the floor besides him. He loves my quilts.

He can't sleep when he has to travel so he watches tv until he can catch a few winks.

You need to take a picture so when you miss him just pull out the pic. Great memories.

Rosy, funny you would mention something like this today. I am making quilts for my 6 adult kids for Christmas. I find myself wondering if they will truly appreciate the work, thought and time involved in creating these. Several have requested a quilt, I know one will cherish his, but as a whole do you think they acknowledge the meaning of "quilt giving"? Just pondering....

LOL I wore out the old quilt that Grandma had on the couch for just such occasions. It was meant to be worn out in loving use, and I am proud to say it was me and my son and the dogs that did it enthusiastically.
