Do you remember PacMan? When my son was somewhere between 8 and 11 years old, he wanted to make a PacMan quilt. I gave him some double knit solid fabric and cut the black rectangles for him and he designed the ghost pattern, cut all of them out and hand appliqued almost half of them down and somehow life got in the way and he didn't finish. Occasionally, he would ask me if I still had his PacMan Quilt. While we were in the process of cleaning out the attic recently, he asked me again about his quilt. I went through every box in the attic and low and behold, when I opened the last box, there was his PacMan Quilt neatly tucked away in a Ziploc baggie! I finished appliqueing the rest of the ghosts, added a PacMan and the eyeballs on the ghosts and quilted it for him for his 44th birthday! He said when he saw those blue ghosts, it brought back memories of him appliqueing them down and how hard it was. He did a good job!

Congratulations to both you and your son on making this quilt full of memories. Does he still sew?
What a lovely story. It must be a nice guy your son. The quilt is a beauty. Happy 2016 both of you!!
Thank you. He doesn't have time for sewing. He owns a paint and body shop, but he is very appreciative of the quilts that I make.
What a brilliant story, well done you on finally finishing that quilt and well done to your son on keeping reminding you :)
V Ray cute. I love the different expressions that their eyes have.
