School project time!




Emily has a school project due later this month and she has been working on it diligently. She had to read a book about quilts and then do a book summary. Next she had to visit a quilt shop or quilt show. Finally she had to design a quilt on paper and then make a real quilt. She has finished everything except the sewing of the "real" quilt. We went to Joanns a couple of weeks ago and she picked out some cat fabric. She decided she should make a quilt for the cats.
A couple of summers ago, EMily took a sewing class in Alabama and made a quilt. At the same time we purchased a new Janome machine which is the one she learned on. She loved sewing for a while and then, like everything else she tries, it fell to the wayside.
She started sewing Sunday and hopefully she will finish before the project is done. All those sewing skills she learned are coming back slowly.
