Our 'niece' will be visiting for a
couple of weeks and helping to organize around here. We will find some
time for fun too though. We're going to take the Shipwreck tour and see the Madeline that will be in port a few days.The
one thing she wanted me to teach her, was to quilt. She picked out
this pattern, a great beginner pattern and then from my quilt stash she
picked out these fat quarters as well as many others for her quilt.
Then she learned how to use the quilt bug
to narrow down the fabrics to just those that went together well, which
I personally always find exciting. To these we added a great border
fabric and solid backing that she picked out when we went to town.
Today
Am learned how to cut out her pieces using the quilt rulers and got a
taste of the tedious part of quilting. The pressing and cutting take so
much time. Tomorrow she can start sewing.
She's
getting her summer reading requirements accomplished while Sady keeps
her company and reads along. And yes, Am is wearing a turtleneck in July
- it's been chilly of an evening here.
