Gift Ideas

Hi Everyone, 😊

I have a grandson graduating this year from high school. He’s a mountain of a young man (my gentle giant 💕) so I’ll need to make something pretty big. But I’m up against a time clock ( graduating a year early).

His only request was deep greens and blues ( can’t get James Taylor out of my head). 😂 Always loved Sweet Baby James. He’s a hard -metal rock guy and probably has no clue who JT is.

I dye my own fabric so nothing with a focal fabric something with solids or mottled fabrics but I’d love to see what people come up with as the patchwork design. I’m pretty sure I can pull off whatever you suggest as far as skill level.

The only other constraint is that his uncle ( my son) has dibs on Mariner’s compasses because he’s graduating this year too from a five year internship.

I can’t thank you enough; it’s so great having a place where I can ask this question! ❤️😎
