She made this Autumnal tablecover!! I am so proud of her!!

I did quilt it for her as we are on a tight deadline - but she has done all the cutting, piecing, pressing and binding herself!!

I think she may be just a teeny bit BITTEN - she is talking about a Christmas one!!!

I love the designs in that quilt. the colors are beautiful.

Very nice! The simple design really shows off those great fabrics.

Oh, that is beautiful! What a wonderful memory that will be! I know you will miss each other! I hope she really is hooked....that talent shouldn't go to waste!

What a wonderful way to spend time with your friend! The quilt is beautiful and surely will remind your friend of the special time you shared together. Enjoy the rest of your visit and have a safe trip back to Ireland.

What a great quilt!! What a fun thing to do with a friend.
I wish my best friend had any interest in quilting (or anything crafty). I'm trying to brainwash her. Maybe by the time we are retired...
