    Great job Amanda! Can't wait to see the quilt you make and the fabric you choose.

    Go Girl!!! Now isn't that better than TV!

She's coming back this summer to make a quilt! :thumbup:
    Did she make those using the roll-up tubing method? She did a great job

    Thank you everyone! I got so excited I forgot to mention where we got the pattern!!! Thanks for reminding me. Yes, it's the Rolled Pillowcase pattern by Jeanne M. Butter at www.rainydayquiltschool.com. The pattern was interesting!!!! I thought she was crazy then VOILA, there's a pillowcase! LOL

    Throw the TV out the window when she comes. Take her shopping for fabric--then she'll be hooked and gone. :lol:

    You are one fabulous grandma!

    Tell Amanda that we all support her. She did a great job on the pillowcases. Can't wait to see the quilt this summer.
