Great looking quilt! Congrats on a son in the Navy; I too made a quilt for my stepson when he came home the first time after being away. I did an Around the World in nautical fabrics. Enjoy your time with him home.

I took these pictures about 20 min before posting them. It was a gorgeous day out today.

Wil wrapped in the quilt. He decided that he did not want to shave while home cause he is tired of shaving every day. He shaved his head the day before coming home as well.

Just lovely, thank you son for his service, from hubby an old Navy guy of 22 years and from me an old Navy gal with 12 years, retired in 1985 and I got out then. GOD Bless him and your family.
Blessed Night
Ellen

That is a beautiful quilt. He looks very glad to have a wonderful treasure from his mom. Tell him to hang in there when the seas in life in the Navy seem to get overwhelming. He will look back on it someday and be thankful for things it teaches him. My son served for 6 years, 4 aboard a nuclear submarine as a nuclear engineer. God bless him, tell him to keep the faith.

Thank you for your recent responses to this quilt.
My son is currently Deployed and unfortunately they lost one of their helicopters about 2 weeks ago. 2 men were killed. This really affected Wil a lot.

Sauki1 10-06-2013 02:33 PM

Gayle, Love the quilt. What pattern is it?

sewbizgirl 10-06-2013 04:36 PM

Its a gorgeous quilt and he obviously loves it! Hope he enjoys his time at home.

sharonb12 10-07-2013 06:43 AM

The quilt is beautiful-I know your son LOVES​ it! I made my first quilt for my son-he really appreciated it although he doesn't always show his feelings. It is something they will always have and can pass down to their children (if they have any). I feel proud of your son being in the service & hope he'll stay in the USA where he'll be safe.

gme1970 10-07-2013 07:42 AM

Wow , that's beautiful.
