dear, Liam

Happy 4th of July! You are going to stay up so, soooo late tonight! Are you sure you can handle it? I know, I know you can. The question is can grandma and grandpa? (wink).

So you know that I'm making you a cushion for your desk chair, like mine, but what you don't know is that I ordered some fabric just for you. As soon as I saw that great big blue truck, I thought of you. See there's a dog in the back of the truck too. Isn't that neat? And the big circles print kind of looks like wheels. So...

I pieced together a picture and quilted-as-I-went to some batting, adding a second layer of batting at the end so that your cushion will be nice and soft.

Backing wraps around to finish the edges.

I know that you like gray and black like daddy does, so how about some dark gray edging?

Here it is! Now your chair is not so plain. It's blue and green and orange and black - all your favorite colors.

I hope you like it, buddy. Can't wait to see you back at this desk drawing up something new. Maybe a picture about the rollercoasters? I'd love to see that!
