I am sure that you are all wondering how the quilting went. We had mostly boys! I was not prepared for that. We made due. They all knew the sewing machines inside and out. I had no worries. They knew more than me. They threaded them, changed the bobbins, everything. It was great.
I hate to say I had a favorite, but well here she is. If I could have fit her in my suitcase her last name would have been Compher! What a sweetheart. She did not want us to leave. She would not go to bed on our last day. She hid and followed me to the computer. I kept telling her she was going to get into trouble, but she did not care. It was so sad. Just tore my heart out. She spoke very good English!
This little girl was the first to finish her quilt. She was very determined and it turned out beautiful.

This young man loved making the quilt. When he finished, he came back and helped other kids do theirs.
