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.

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.
