Happy Birthday!

So, this little guy turned two!!!  What's a birthday without a quilt?!

He loves it!

I did not finish a quilt in time for Leo's birthday, but luckily for him, his great-grandmother is on the ball!  My mom made (and mailed) this super cute quilt for Leo well before the big day along with a box of toys.  Leo discovered the box and immediately wrapped himself in his quilt ignoring the toys.  That's my boy!

fun quilt for playing with cars

The quilt is a kit from Fat Quarter Shop, I believe.  The top is so cute with roads and other places to visit with his toy cars.

The backing is a fun fabric with various cars, trucks and commercial vehicles.

My  mom makes the best labels!

Here's a closeup of the label.  My mom is so clever to include a photograph of the recipient with each quilt she makes!

Over Thanksgiving at my mom's house, Leo played with a quilt made AND designed by great-great Granny Ellzey which features important places in her hometown.

Happy happy birthday Leo!!

If you are a regular reader of my blog, you know that Leo lives extremely far away, and I am very thankful to see him relatively often considering the distance.  However,  I wasn't able to attend this year's birthday party, but his mom sent me lots of pictures and videos!

such a cutie!!

This is a picture from his first birthday party which I was fortunate to attend.  They grow up so fast, don't they?!
