    What a lovely memory quilt. Little shirts from hubby's shirts. Never seen that pattern before. Glad you were able to help her. Sounds like you all are having blast.

My friend turned to me knowing that I had been quilting for around 8 years. And heres what we have accomplished. 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 so neat. What a tribute and what a good friend yu are. She is very blessed. (and so are you, I'm sure)
