A few months ago I posted a picture showing two girls who were working on their own charity quilts. Their dad died April 1 and their mom works some Sundays. They've been coming to our house on those Sunday afternoons that she works and I've been teaching them about sewing. They took a hiatus when their mom didn't work, and I just left the squares in their plastic bags. However, the last few weeks they have come. We continued to work each time a little on their quilts. We finished completely today! In a few minutes I will meet their mom at work with the girls and their quilts and take them home.
Here are the pictures. I'm pleased and I know they are!

She wanted hers tied. (Weronika wanted hers quilted.)

Since I had several kids here this afternoon, we tied it rather quickly and I went ahead and finished it. Here is the group of helpers who got this tied quickly.

Enjoy. These are recipients of charity quilts but they basically "helped make their own." I think they are both quite happy.
