I'm not sure about next year other than I think I will work with them one on one. The one I wasn't helping was getting into my stuff!

Well Here it is-all finished! I kept them overnight this last weekend and we worked on it a lot. I wanted them to get it done before they totally lost interest. The first picture shows the combined effort. Jaden was pushing the foot pedal and Julian was guiding the quilt through. They were topstitching around the edge.
The last one is the label that they made. I took their picture and they typed out what they wanted to say. I used Power Point and arranged it and then printed it out on treated fabric. the boys really thought that was cool!

The front all tied.

Here are the last 2 pictures before they give it to their Mom at Christmas. I had them over on Black Friday b/c Mom had to work. they used stamps and stickers(lots) and made her a card and bookmark. Then they wrapped it-each doing an end.

don't you just love the tongue?

The big presentation went off w/o a hitch! Those 2 little boys kept that big secret for a long time. She had no idea what they made her. here are the pix. The boys were so proud of their accomplishments. I could tell that she liked it, too!
