I would like to thank Mdm Samm for the inspiration and to Amy of Sew Incredibly Crazy for being our head cheerleader. Please be aware that Amy has added more bloggers and days to the Hop which now runs to November 15th. Please be sure to visit these lovely ladies that I share my day with:
I first thought of my 'little boys' - those grandies who know how to wrap NaNa around their little fingers
Hmm, what could be rolled up in these? I used this Tutorial
to make some crayon roll-ups. Who doesn't like to play with crayons? I have a special box to use with my stitchery work. But I think my guys will prefer these.
One of my little boys loves trains (I only have trucks to play with at my house) and I happened to have a panel on the shelf. Panels are fun and make for a quick quilt. That bundle of colorful stripe FQs I keep on the other shelf joined in the play.
Some cuddle fabric for the back and an all over meander - wash and dry for that crinkly goodness and a bright 'drag-around' size quilt is waiting to get wrapped for Christmas.
But I have a lot of Big Boys in my family and this is a popular gift. Eye glass cases made with my tutorial found HERE.
And some tissue boxes that are on the manly side using my Tutorial.
Yes, there has to be a Big Boy quilt, too. This is the third quilt I have managed out of that box of de-constructed men's flannel shirts from my guys - there might be enough for one more. 8.5" unfinished squares with 4.5" unfinished squares on two sides gives you a 12.5" unfinished block to play with any layout. With borders this one finishes at 60" x 72"
Need a nice Big Boy gift set? I bought a flannel sheet set - came in that nice flannel covered zip-box. I used the flat sheet for the back of the quilt - always wash your flannel first as it does shrink. Now I have the fitted sheet, pillowcases, and that cool box to tuck them in - along with the quilt - for a complete gift set.
Thank you for visiting and hope I gave some inspiration for little and big boy gifts with the pending season. As a give away I have:
1 yard cuts of two Robert Kaufman "Illustration Ink - Super Hero". I will ship international - be sure I have a way to contact you. Comments close on Nov 15 and winner will be announced and contacted on the 16th.
Sewingly Yours,
Sharon

Looovvee it all. The crayon roll ups are great...quick to sew and easy to use. Sew many items. The man's quilt is wonderful. Funny thing, I've always preferred these tones to the brighter lady ones...guess it is the "country" in me.
The very best part of a blog hop is finding brilliant new blogs full of fresh ideas. I make shirt quilts but would never have thought about a sheet set.
Sharon. Love all those boy things. Crayon rolls are a must for me to sew for my two little grandsons. Everything was fabulous!
Wonderful projects for my great nephews - thanks for sharing.
So many wonderful project you made.
Thank you for giving new inspiration.
Delightful projects. It is always hard to create for men but you seem to have mastered it. Thanks for hoping and sharing.
Busy gal....love all of your boysy projects! Everyone sure loves crayons...young and old... and I love the flannel shirt quilt. It's always fun to point out specific fabric memories. Thanks for sharing all of these great ideas!
Fantastic projects!! Those are such great ideas and I love the big boy quilt!!
Great projects! I especially like the crayon roll-ups.
Love Your projects, especially like the sheet idea!
Looks like there are some boys that are very lucky to have Nana wrapped around their fingers! What fun.
What a great idea Sharon - using the back of the flannel sheet for a quilt, then gifting the set! And I love your crayon rollups. I made some crayon bags several years ago but I like this idea better. Thanks for the links to the tutorials too. I've been wanting to make some tissue box covers. :) blessings, marlene
Sharon you have been busy making some very neat stuff ! love the crayon rolls, so great for any little one ! Eyeglass cases...I made my husband one, and he loves it.

Wow! You gave me so many ideas for guys. You have been busy. Thank you.
Loving your guy quilts! You do a super job.
great inspiration.........
You have so many creative projects. Thanks for the chance to win.
Sharon, you are always SO creative!!! I love your "boy" ideas - especially buying the flannel sheet set and using it to make an ensemble with a matching quilt - ingenious!!!! I also "pinned" your eyeglass case tutorial - my sister just asked for me to make one for her with her name on it :*) Thanks for sharing with us!
Wonderful projects. You have just solved several of my gift problems for this Christmas. Thanks for the great projects and the chance to win.
I am loving the De-constructed shirts quilt flannel gift set! Fantastic idea and it looks so cozy to be under.
Congrats on being Most Creative Boy Creator of the day - you are very deserving. You have projects for a plethora of ages. I love crayons and my children seem to be embarrassed when I ask for crayons and coloring sheet for me at a restaurant. It helps the time go faster for me, too. I love the panel quilt. My FIL was a model railroader and won some national awards for them. So, I have a special place in my heart for trains. I think many little boys love trains. The eyeglass cases and tissue box covers are a great idea in "manly" fabrics. Your deconstructed shirt quilt is wonderful and what a great idea with the sheet set for the flannel. Seems as if you got all the bed covered on that one. Thanks for participating and giving wonderful project ideas for a variety of males.
Sharon what lovely projects the little boys will love the crayon roll ups and the big boys will enjoy there presents too especially the quilt made of Flannel. I have been making a flannel quilt for my son to but not from shirts,excellent idea.
My favorite are the crayon holders!
Great projects -- LOVE your flannel shirt quilt! :)
What fun projects for boys…love the crayon holders and that flannel shirt quilt as well..thanks for sharing!
Great idea and I may have to steal your idea!
Gmama Jane
I forgot to tell you that I am STILL using all those stash squares I won from your blog!! My quilt group and I have made numerous charity quilts with them and 3 ladies have learned how to quilt, make HST's and all kinds of fun using your squares!
Thanks
Gmama Jane
