Mom & Mondo

Guess who is making quilts?

Mondo. Mondo Extraordinaire. Mondo The Incredible.

Mondo is my cousin and I love him and his brothers and sisters very, very much. Mondo is getting super into textiles and patchwork, which makes me happy about ten million different ways. He’s a heartbreaker, too — I mean, look at that face!!! We’ll be having Mondo as a guest on Quilty someday soon. Until then, check this out, y’all.

And thank you, Mondo, for reminding me that quilting is for everyone, young or old, male or female. The language of quilts is universal. I love you, buddy.

p.s… You’ve got a pretty good teacher, kid. :)

Awesome to see. To day my husband mentioned and interest in fabric, sewing, tailoring, etc. as a family and we have two boys. When I started quilting and mentioned teaching the boys he turned his noise. Now his tune is changing.

Wow, is he working on that lovely quilt with your Mom? He is going to be quite the quilter if he is this determined while he is still a young guy. Very cool, Mondo. Very cool!

Mondo is a looker/cutie so watch out girls, expecially watch out for the quilts he’ll be making, you’ll have trouble competing.

Yep! Mondo’s a pro already. Working with one, anyway!

I did a brief introuction to quilting with a fifth grade class I was teaching. I was thrilled to see how many boys liked the experience. They liked the designing, building, colors and sewing. Just as many boys as girls liked it. I am inspired to put together a better quilty unit for the future.
