Kindergarten Monsters.....

My friend, Marjean - from Idaho, saved some pretty special drawings her grandson drew when he was in Kindergarten.

She wanted to create a quilt with them - so she did!

 

 

Marjean is so creative! 

She took those drawings and cut chunky pieces of fabric to re-create the monsters.

Here are the original drawings:

 

 

He's older now and to see these drawings return in a quilt just for him, is priceless.

He remembers drawing them and now he gets to snuggle with them.

I had such fun quilting this quilt. 

I changed thread color a bazillion times.

 

 

I used the shape of the monsters to create the quilting designs.

  

 

Here's a better photo in the sunlight to show the quilting - see how much fun I had!

 

 

 

Each monster has a bunch of spikes - that's serious business!

After the quilting photo.

 

 

This little guy has an amazing amount of talent, too. 

 

 

Each monster has a completely different personality.

 

 

I love the gold spikes on this egg-head one.

 

 

Monster pencils.....maybe?

 

 

What a darling label....

 

 

Truly a gift from the heart - from grandson to grandma and back to grandson again.

Thank you for letting me add to this precious creation.
