secret project revealed

Clyde's Bam turned 80 this month. The Ward family wanted to make something special for her big day. For Papa's 80th birthday, Clyde's Mom made a quilt and had everyone sign it. I thought that we could make another quilt for Bam's 80th birthday and embroider pictures of all the families on the Ward side. This is what I came up with:

our family: which includes things that we all like to do or play with...Erin art, Josh...Indiana Jones...Clyde...teacher...me...knitting (because a sewing machine wouldn't work out that great.)Penny...shoes...Jacob...jedi (duh)...and Libby and her girly girl purses...& of course our Uno.
Here is Bam and Papa. I tried to match a Christmas card that they had sent a few years ago.


Here are Clyde's folks @ the beach. Ed loves to sing, so the microphone and Becki in her green collecting seashells. Here is our hippie Maylee riding her favorite animal, with Ricky and his daughter, who live by the zoo. (get it... elephant?)
Here is Sammy and his girls...two of whom lived with us for 6 weeks @ the beginning of this year.
Rusty and wife with his 2 sets of twins. 2!!
Here Becki is explaining the quilt squares to Bam...she's the grandma in the white shirt.

Bam and gals checking the quilt out.
Here I am displaying Bam's quilt after it was finished and before I packaged it up.
All done...
Happy 80th Bam! And Thanks Auntie Jul for the photographs. I look forward to seeing Maylee's pictures when she visits.
