What a kind and loving thing you and your friend are doing for her Mom.

Mom gives it as a gift to her G-grands. Mom has commented that she is doing fine still since she can XS and still hide the stitches. (She has already forgotten they showed at one time because her DD told her not to worry about it...when she was all done it would look just fine)
A labor of love and happiness for all 3 of us and for the recipient too.
Happy Quilting, Kathy

I just finished sanding down the french door to my quilting studio, which is a work in progress. I am going to put the first coat of exterior paint on it in a bit. I am also going to put the borders on a King size quilt and cut the binding for a lap quilt and finish that UFO.
