Adam's quilt

Adam has been wanting a t-shirt quilt. As he was scheduled to leave on last Monday, we thought we'd rush to get it done before he left. He chose his shirts, bought the materials, and he and Susannah got to work measuring and cutting.

We stayed up super late one night and, with the help of Kim Larmouth, got the thing tied. There was something weird about the needles or the fabric because it was super hard to tie. We had to use pliers and this jar lid opener thing to grab the needles and pull them through. What was really funny is us three girls sat around the quilt and Adam laid underneath it. He'll pull the needles down and send them back up for us. It was a pretty good system.

Here's Adam after we finished tying. It was like 2:45 in the morning. It took a long time to get it tied!

Susannah did pretty much the whole rest of the work. She actually did most of the work anyway. She sewed the strips together and edged the thing all on her own. She even sewed one side of the edging entirely by hand!

Adam's enjoying his finished quilt here. It turns out that he's not going to Korea after all. We're glad to have him stay!
