When he was about 3 or 4, my youngest son was convinced he was Spider-Man. He had many of the plastic Spider-Man toys and Spider-Man clothing. When we would drive around town in the trusty minivan he would refer to me as “Spider-Man’s Mom” and ask me to keep an eye out for bad guys. Together we would crusade for justice and he would narrate these exciting stories where we would be capturing bad guys left and right. When we would pull into the driveway after a long day of crime stopping, he would tell me, “Good job, Spider-Man’s Mom, I’m very proud of you.” He was so serious when he gave me that compliment, I was all I could do to keep from laughing. Well, fast forward more than 20 years, and after many adventures and laughs along the way, Spider-Man’s Mom learned to make quilts. I was very happy to get this done in time for Christmas this year!

This was our last club mystery quilt. I can't remember the name of it. But, my goal was to complete this quilt without buying anything! Okay, you know how that goes. I did end up having to purchase fabric for the backing and a bit more for the last floral border. The friend I'm helping learn to quilt took one look at this quilt and bought it for her sister who is a PURPLE lover. I hear it was a big hit and went instantly onto her bed.

This is the second quilt that I quilted on my new Amara longarm. I quilted a pattern from Urban Elementz called Denise's Spirals. I was going through the quilt tops that I have to find one that I wanted to quilt next and I found this one. I either bought this one on Esty or from a silent auction, so I don't know the pattern.. I love all the stars. It was 60" x 60" and ended with the flying geese. I wanted a bigger (non square) quilt so I added more borders. It is 80" x 92"
