Work like a captain, play like a pirate

You gonna sew my blanket grandma?

Um, yeah, yeah, grandma still needs to finish those don't I.

Back in March I attended a quilt retreat with the ladies I quilt with. It's an annual thing we do together and one of the projects I brought to work on was two pirate quilts for my grandsons.

When I got home, via face time, I showed the boys what I accomplished even though they weren't quite done. Figuring I had some time to finish them I put their quilts on the back burner keeping in mind I'll pull them out prior to the boys summer visit and get them completed.

A couple of weeks ago I was heading to my friends house to do some quilting and as I was packing up my sewing supplies the boys Facetimed me.

Where are you going Grandma? 

Oh to my friends house to quilt.

You gonna sew my blanket?

My four year old grandsons had not forgotten their unfinished quilts. I stammered my way through a response knowing I needed to get those blankets done.

Their visit is coming up, like next week so I worked night and day sewing like a madman to finish them. There was no way I was going to disappoint my grandson's.

With three days to spare, their quilts are done. 

Now with my task complete, I can focus on those boys and the fun we are going to have when they get here.
