Maelle has been dying to learn how to sew. We tried one other time to sew something, but found that my sewing machine was not working. Thanks to my wonderful mom who took it somewhere to have it fixed, it is running great! Last night I suggested we work on sewing a quilt. Maelle was ecstatic. We found some fat quarters that I've probably had for over 15 years. She picked out some that she liked and we cut them into 5" squares. We laid them out in a "random" pattern and I showed her how to use the sewing machine. What she really learned is that sewing involves A LOT of problem solving. Thankfully we didn't make any mistakes that we couldn't fix. We finished the top of the quilt this evening and hope to finish the rest of the quilt soon.
