Lucas's Coral Reef and Ocean Quilt

Lucas (our grandson) requested a coral reef quilt with a hermit crab, dolphins and a tri-pod fish. I forgot the tripod fish, but he said, "that's okay, they're hard to find." So we decided the tripod fish was hiding behind a rock.

When Lucas first saw the quilt he said "Cool, its a touchy quilt." I had used yarn, ribbons and real shells along with embroidery and applique to make it 3D.

There was a problem with the quilt though. Ben and Lucas soon found out that underneath it lay the sleeping Tickle Monster, aka, Grandpa Roy.

After a thorough tickle and white meat grabbing session. The quilt and boys survived and it was upstairs to show off the quilt and play "Don't step on the poisonous jelly fish and get your toes bitten.

other than the smiles and thankyous, how did I know the quilt would be loved? Easy... nothing like a good book about whales and a quilt to cuddle under.
