Today BFF is in Virginia and the girls decided they were going to piece together quilt tops for the soldiers at Fort Hood.
When L was over on Tues. she looked at the two patterns I had and figured out how to do the piecing for each one. She was nice today and let M pick her choice of the two tops, since one was a little more complicated than the other. Now I warned M to look at that patterns, but she went completely by the colors and ended up with the slightly more complicated quilt top, which had L dancing.
L has never sewn before. She did really good putting the blocks together, but when it came to piecing the blocks to each other she lost her nerve a little and kept getting the fabric bunched up under the needle. She did a little meditating, and then I ran one through for her and she decided to put it up until next week.
M has just started on her piecing and the thread is giving us a little trouble, but other than that it is going great, but she has sewn before.
L said she was going to stick to knitting after this project, but then she bought 2 baby quilt kits with her today, so we will see. Of course if she buys Mama C the right color thread, Mama C would be glad to put them together for her.
Love craft days!

Loving crafty days @ Mamma's.. it was nice to see Mina chirping and humming like a happy crafty cricket too.
I am content to just be present with y'all and watch, but apparently my inner craftmaker has shown itself and wants to be released - a little at a time. I had a great time on Saturday, but then I always do. Somehow I think Stan understands the wife has to have bonding time with the girls.
