Hello Cuties ! Nora is my eleven year old (will be the 26th of July) granddaughter. She started this top August 2023 but only got to work on it, when she comes here. She was very good to keep her seam allowances even, but I trimmed her edges after her seams, with the pinking shears for her. I did that and would press her seams or rows, while she was sewing the next one. She finished today because she’s been able to work on it since Monday. Her mom is away this week, so their dad brings them here every day while he’s working. ( Mom drove the church bus with teenagers to church camp in another state.) Anyway, it allowed Nora time to finish her top. I asked her if I could show all of you and so she’s looking forward to reading what you think of her first quilt. I will do the actual quilting once we decide if she wants Minky or batting and cotton backing. Here are a few pictures I took over time and when I remembered.-lol- It a heavy load so look for finish below. Oh I also will square her outer edges so she will end up with triangle edges. I may quilt it before trimming , not sure yet. She used 5 inch squares and it ended up 57 x 82 inches.

Look close at the smile she has on her face in #8
I told her every quilter has this smile when the patchwork is finally done- lol

A friend of mine and her daughter popped in before church service tonight. When I told her she came at the right time to see what Nora made my friend told her it was so pretty, good job etc!
Tomorrow we will present quilts to 8 veterans ( 2 are my quilts for Marines) and also foster kids camp. I will bring Avery, Nora and Gus with me to see all the quilts. If I can take pictures and tend to kids-lol I will show you those,too. I asked Nora if she wanted to bring her top if she got it finished today. This morning she said No but when it was finished this afternoon, she said yes!-lol
Have a good night! I’m beat. Looking forward to mom coming home Friday night-lol❤️Toogie
