Oh My Goodness . . .

I actually got a project completed and presented to the new owner!!



My friend Becky and her husband have been hosting a darling young man from China for the past month.  DH was Jaiyi's basketball coach in China when they lived over there a couple of years ago.  So, Jaiyi came to America to learn better basketball from his American coach.  He had a wonderful time while he was here and Becky asked if I would make him a quilt to remind him of his American family.

I was thrilled to be a part of Jaiyi's visit and Jaiyi loved the quilt!! He could not stop saying thank you!!  So much fun!!

That is a wonderful idea for an exchange student. We did that for a few years but we got a lot of problem kids, so gave up on doing it.

Great quilt. I have just finished binding one for the German exchange student we have staying with us at the moment. She turns 17 in Sept so this is her birthday present. Just hope she can get it in her suitcase!
