When I learn how to send photos from iPhone to this computer, I can attach pictures. For now,it’s a story.
A teen at church wants to learn quilting. So we used candies + scraps + others to start her on a journey. She made a placemat. Took her 2 months. She persevered. So we’ve started a “blanket”, the next project. We’re both learning…… I’m learning to teach.
With my efforts she has enough placemats for her family. And reports they like them.
At the end of her day this week, she was all smiles. And her mom is thrilled. And is footing the $ for her project.
Can you say, I’m feeling good too.

Rebaquilts -- those are wonderful! Embroidery and patchwork makes quilts even more special.
Jennr8r -- beautiful sunbonnet sue quilt and quilting!
Petthefabric -- you are an awesome teacher! Those are great placemats.
