Ride 'Em Cowboys

These three quilts are special for so many reasons. I started making these cowboy themed quilts in the spring of 2003. Michael was just a little buck-a-roo then. He loved his quilt. I even made a pillowcase to match. Then along came Christapher...he was three months old when he came to live with us. He had to have a quilt so I made the Ride 'Em Cowboy in brown for him because they shared

These three quilts are special for so many reasons. I started making these cowboy themed quilts in the spring of 2003. Michael was just a little buck-a-roo then. He loved his quilt. I even made a pillowcase to match.
Then along came Christapher...he was three months old when he came to live with us. He had to have a quilt so I made the Ride 'Em Cowboy in brown for him because they shared a room. By this time, their room was turned into a cowboy room.
Trevor came a few weeks after Christapher becuase he had been in Children's hospital with a TBI. Trevor needed a quilt too, but I had to make his just a little different so we could tell them all apart. I used the same fabrics that I had used in Michael and Christapher's quilts but I decided to use the framed square pattern.

I have written about the twins before, if you want to hear part of their story, check out this blog entry. I just couldn't bear to lose all of my boys, so I kept their quilts to remind us of all the smiles,, laughter and tears that they brought into our lives.(They were a part of our family for three years) I get the quilts out ever so often and remember those day when they came to us and all the fun times we had...and there were tons...NEVER a dull moment that is for sure.
