Today I am writing about a project that I have finished. It was started several months ago for my first grandchild as soon as I found out the baby was to be a boy I ran out and got material to make him a quilt. Well I did start the project , but work on it progressed very slow. My dear little grandson was born October 10, 2006 still no finished quilt. I was certain I would have it done by Christmas a gift for him maybe that didn't happen either. After a new year dawned I made my list of projects to finish and get started on for the year the quilt was at the top of my list. I still hadn't gotten to it when my sister Martha and nieces Jennifer and Stephanie wanted to make a trip in January to my daughter's home in Dallas, Texas. While we were on our visit she took us to visit the ranch where Dallas was filmed back in the eighties one of my favorite soaps. It was the first one to air at night I was glued to the house and TV come Friday night at 9pm. I would never have dreamed in a million years that some day I would get to see this house for real. It was just awesome to tour it and listen to the stories the guide had to offer. We had a great visit and when I got home I had renewed interest in the Dallas series again. I bought the first two years on DVD and watched them at night some times two at a time so my 29 episodes went by fast. The quilt was still laying here unfinished I remembered that Dallas came on in the afternoons on the soap net channel two episodes a day now how could I justify watching tv in the afternoon. I am always busy with something that needs doing. I came up with the perfect solution sew on the quilt while I watched Dallas so that's what I did. I have finished the quilt so I don't know what I'll do to watch tv in the afternoon . I'll probably have to tape it and watch it at night I need to buy more DVDs. Now that it is finished I am wondering since Hayden is five months and it is getting warm weather how much he will use it. It can be used on a youth bed since it not too small. Maybe I'll just keep it at my house for him to use when he is here. I am attaching a photo of it.

Congrats on finishing the quilt!! It's really cool when you can be productive while also enjoying a TV show you love. When all my shows go into re-runs, I'll have to borrow your Dallas DVDs. I'd love to watch those old shows again. : )
