Domestic Goddess or Crazy Lunatic

About a month ago I decided that I wanted to give a quilt to all of the girls in our Young Women who are turning 16 this year. When the quilts would be ready, I would have the rest of the YW sign the back of the quilt with their special message to the birthday girl. This would be a nice keepsake of their 16th birthday. Great idea, right? I think I should have looked at the list of the girls before making a decision. We have 7 girls turning 16 this year, and most of the birthdays are about 2 weeks apart from each other. Needless to say, I will be extremely busy for a little while. I just finished my second quilt last night because Jessica's birthday is TODAY. Next one is due on April 1.


Last night at 11pm. Still going strong.

Wow, I'm impressed! I think you need to use up some vacation time to quilt!;) The young women will love that gift. It is incredibly thoughtful and something they will always love to have.

You are such an amazing YW president. Your YW will honor and love you all their lives. That is such a thoughtful gift - bt I am going to vote crazy domestic goddess because that is a lot of work!
