She bought this pattern at a LQS, something I'd never seen until she showed it to me. And I'll be darned if I'm gonna let somebody say theres no way! So heres our progress. We get together about once a week. This is her first and probably her last quilt, so she says. But we have such a good time when we're together, I hope she catches the bug!

That is A Wonderful Quilt!! And Just shows How Short Sighted some one can be! I hope that the 1st person you show this Quilt to is Her 'Sister-in-Law'

That's a neat pattern--great rememberance quilt. Inasmuch as you are having a good time together I'll bet my bottom dollar that she will want to continue the weekly sessions. I think you will find she will miss the comradre.
