Quilt tying for Elder McGriff

Erika and I helped Nancy, Heather and Sara with a quilt that they are making for Elder McGriff, when he returns home on Feb 22.  Nancy cut up all his old T-shirts into 12" squares and put them together.  We went to Nancy's parents house, because they have a room big enough to put up the frames.  We had it done in an hour and a half.  It was quite interesting, because the needles wouldn't pull through, because of  the T-shirt material that was stretchy, so our thumbs and fingers are going to be sore tomorrow from pulling and pushing them in and out.  It looks really cool and we are glad we were able to help them out.
