Quilt

During the holidays the father of one of the girls in Charlotte's class passed away. There is only the mother and daughter, the mother doesn't drive and they lived quite a distance from school so they have had to move to temporary accomodation closer to the school. It has been quite a terrible time for them.I decided to whip up this simple lap quilt for the little girl this week. I used some vintage fabric from the Vintage Sheet Swap that I had cut up ages ago at the very first Hills Craft Room this year. I backed it with some Jennifer Paganelli (I think).

I absolutely love it and I hope she does too.
