DSC_0051 copy my happy plans for this evening include knitting and watching two favorite movies: far and away followed by tristan and isolde. * if you would like to put a whole quilt together rather than donate materials, the sewing guidelines are here. they are specific, especially the tying requirements so look before making! the girl loves a project. i mean LOVES. it was like so fun to her to print them off, plan how she wanted to present them, go to the store for candy, sign, and put them together. she just bossed me around and made sure i tied the string right. she didn't want to print off her name- signing was a must.
