My name is Todd Harding and I am a quilting widow.  Every year, a couple months before Christmas, my wife disappears in her mom's basement with her Mother, Bev, and doesn't come out until at least five or six or ten quilts have been completed. Bev has a Gammil longarm quilting machine in the basement. I hope to see my wife by Christmas.

Their goal is to make a quilt for everyone in the family. So, this is how it works:

Jenny's Dad's side of the family has a name-draw every Christmas. So they try to make a quilt for everyone who we have in the name-draw every holiday season. That includes those chosen for Jenny, her Mom, her Dad, and me. That is at least 4 quilts every year. One year they did 10.

Don't tell, but sometimes the list has to be manipulated to make sure everyone gets a quilt and there are no double dippers. Jenny made a YouTube video to explain how the quilting machine works and just how many quilts they are doing this year.
