A dear friend and hubby had been stationed in Germany in the 50's. She was not a quilter, but started a patch work to pass the time. Then had 5 children and quilt got stashed but now 50 years later in a retirement village, she is losing her eye sight. Her hubby asked me if I would bring to home with me and have some one finish it while she could still enjoy it. All it needed was a border and triming up and quilted. So, I did it! Made pillow cases with the border fabric I found and my quilter quickly put it on her machine and we finished it before Christmas last year. She did not know it was even out of the house, as our sweet hubbys sneaked it out at Thanksgiving. So, on Christmas eve, with all the family she opened this quilt. I was so happy to do this for them. She still has some sight and it is on the bed every day.
