I just wanted all of you to know we are coming along. It has been slow going but we are working. She had a family reunion and girls camp and I had a death in the family so we are doing what we can. I should have pictures up next week of our progress. Thanks again everyone! :)

Thanks for the update. Lots of us are running at full speed in the summer and quilting gets shoved to the side. :-( But it will have it's day soon. :-) We will wait for the pictures. What a fun thread this is. P.S. Condolences on your loss.

In this program it teaches them to make goals and learn new skills. . She wants to learn how to sew and also learn about people who quilt and why they quilt. I thought this Board would be the perfect solution. If you would like to help me help her we have come up with something fun. If you had time would you send a 6 inch square of fabric or a couple if you can spare it and also write down on a piece of paper your name where your from and the reason or what got you started sewing and why you are still sewing. She is going to be keeping a scrapbook about her quilt as we build it. If you are interested please PM. She is so excited about this… Her name is Justeena. I will PM you and if you still need fabric, let me know and it will be on it's way. Great thing you are doing for this very cute young lady....she looks ecstatic. mj |
Ok ladies I got some pictures last night so i'll try and get them posted this weekend. She has the Scrapbooking done and the signiture blocks cut and names on them (Thank you to those that sent one to her) We will be cutting out the blocks for the quilt top this week..... So stay tuned
|
Oh so excited to see what the little sweetie is up to!

Miss Justina is certainly very pretty! She likes to sew the way i do....wearing pj bottoms ...at least I think they are. Sometimes in the winter when it is cold and I have no plans or company expected, I get up, shower and put on clean pj's for a sewing day :).
Looks as though things are progressing nicely. ENJOY |
The update...
We will be finishing it on Thursday evening. Also she has decided to hand quilt it so we are taking on another adventure with this quilt. Also she wanted to learn how to make YO YO's so she has decided to place yo yo flowers on it randomly. She is also wanting to enter it into the fair next year so keep watching... We both again want to thank everyone for there support, love and donations. She has enough extra we will be making another quilt she is going to be donating it to the hospital as a service project. (She will pass off one more thing in her youth program) Thank you again Karie and Justeena |
Congratulations to Justeena on her beautiful quilt!
|
Yup, best sewing in comfy PJ's. Great job and so much fun to work with kids.
|
I love her quilt!!! Please tell her how much we love it. She's so darn cute!!! :D
|
Great job on the quilt ladies!
I seem to work better in my pajama's. Oooooh, so comfortable. :thumbup: |
Justina....YOU ARE THE WOMAN....first quilt not finished and thinking of donating for charity already!! HIGH FIVE....you go girl!
|
GOOD JOB! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: <wave>
|
Thanks so much for sharing pics of this project. Will be fun to see it finished. Plus you know you have instilled the love of quilting in her. :-) You are a super gal for doing this and taking the time to share with all of us.
|
WOW what an amazing thing for you and everyone on this board to do. Sorry I came "late" to the party. The quilt is absolutely beautiful
|
I don't know how I lost track of this thread but I have missed out on a lot.
I love the way the quilt is coming along. Can't wait to see it finished. She really is doing a great job on her first quilt. |
Very nice! The colors are wonderful. Isn't it great how you can put together such a pleasing combination from random donated fabric? So much creativity in her pretty litle head.
|
Wonderful job!!! Way to go! :thumbup:

:thumbup: What a wonderful picture of Justina and her quilt! Thank you for teaching her this wonderful craft. And thank you for letting us all help out in our small way! :thumbup:

Karie -
My wife was asking about Justeena tonight. Has she made anything else? We'd love to see more pics of her work. Thanks, Darren |
And as I was sorting through some scraps, I was wondering the same thing! Has Justina finished her quilt? I'm sure we would all love to see the finished product. But, knowing how busy teens can get, I bet she had better things to do! :lol:
|
Thanks Evie for reviving this. So Karielt...how are things going? Now that summer is here is this back on the front burner? Please do update us. :-)
|
Hi ladies MJ on here emailed me to tell me people had posted questions, thank goodness for her I didn't get any notification. To answer your questions her top is done and she is coming over tonight to finish piecing the bottom of her quilt I'll take pictures for sure. Her family has had some struggles so It has been hard to get some time with her but she called me Sunday and she is ready to go again. Thanks for your support and I'll post pictures later :)
|
I would love to see your pictures. It is nice that the two of you are still working on this project together.
|
Hey Karie - Great to see you are still working with Justeena.
Look forward to pics. |
I'm soooo excited! :lol:
|
Great progress! I'll be watching for the 'finished quilt' pics. Has Justina been working on those yo-yos during the winter to put on the top?
|
will send you a PM
