Tag Team Quilt...Slam Dunk!

So...Quilting Partner in Crime & I spent two days this weekend Tag Team Quilting!  I ironed & cut and passed off organized bits and pieces while she sewed pressed and trimmed. 
I briefly mentioned in a previous post that our boss has announced her retirement...effective the end of March.  This does not allow a lot of time to repeat that something special heirloom dresdan quilt with miles of hand embroidered buttonhole stitch that we pulled off a couple of years ago for another friend who retired .  However, Boss Lady is an old 4-H/FFA Mom, whose girls showed Suffolk Sheep & she has a deeply personal faith.  She will love what we are doing for her.  Nancy Halvorsen to the rescue!
