I gave them a crash course on quilting and everyine helped. It was fun and the ladies really enjoyed learning. Several are still quilting. Just pick an easy pattern like "warm wishes." Most people can sew a straight line.
Good luck!!

Warm Wishes is one of my favorite patterns. Good luck

Whoops! I'm sure it'll turn out great though. Plus being on a deadline forces you to think creatively... which is a great brain workout! Plus you can introduce new guys to quilting too.

I did that with my daughter's school auction this year. Last time I open my mouth. Promise. Seriously. Really.

Famous last words.

I wish you lots of success in the auction - hope your work will pay off!

ROFLMAO. Been there done that. One of my first pposts here on the board was about "open mouth insert foot". Do something simple like turning twenty. or simple nin patch.

Katei, I like the way you think!

PurpleBecca, good luck with your effort. I'm sure it will be a success. Just spend a little time with it each day and it will be finished before you know it!

Kudos to you!
