So I'm trying my hand at a new activity...quilting. I've had an idea for a quilt in mind for my niece since before she was born (a year and 1/2 ago) and finally talked to my friend/relative Melanie who is a professional quilter. She was very sweet and didn't laugh at me when I described what I want to do. My idea is for something pretty complicated and yet I have no experience quilting, and very little sewing experience. So she suggested that I start with some basic patterns in order to get the foundational techniques down.
A couple weeks later I had the opportunity to volunteer in my daughter's preschool classroom. Omigosh!!! I don't know how her teacher does it. The kids are adorable and sweet, but in my daughter's class are three VERY active three-year-old boys! They aren't malicious in the slightest, but boy can they get into trouble! I left the class that day thinking "God bless Mrs. Mitchell!!!" I also thought that I wanted to do something special for her, so we have been working on a quilt with the kids' handprints on it. It's been super fun! I love the way the quilt is turning out, I just hope we can keep it a surprise until next week
!Anyways, truthfully, the real reason for this post is so I can put up some photos of the quilt for the other parents to check out. But feel free to let me know what you think!
Happy Holidays!
