Graduation Quilts

Well, it has been quite a while since I have posted. This year has been soooo busy. When I last posted my BFF Amanda and I were working on quilts for some of our graduating 8th graders. Not our children, but students at the school where we work. We wound up completing five quilts to give to special students. Wow, that is a record for us!
I began making quilts for students at SMS in 2002. So far there has been 23 quilts made and given to students. We love giving these quilts to the students. We try to match the quilts to the kids or at least what we think they would like. The majority of these quilts were all pulled from stash, Amanda's, my daughter Jenny's and my own. The students all loved them. Most of them are just floored and don't realize that we made them just for them. We hope these quilts help them realize they are someone special and that even when times are bad making the good choice is always the best way even when it's the hard choice. Here are the pictures of this years quilts
