Getting my mom back into quilting with me. So fun. Today she got a Rowenta travel iron (same as my new one that's small, hot, and perfect for quilting) on sale at JoAnn's. Then she drove into the city to start a refresher lesson (2nd session) on cutting and piecing and to get oriented to the machine she's borrowing from my kids. We made an easy Carrie Nation block for a BOM quilt we both barely started in the 1990's. Have only 8 15" blocks so far between the two of us. Stopped my JoAnn's with the kids after school and I bought her a new cutting mat, rotary cutter, cut-n-press, and some notions, on sale. Tomorrow, hope to do another block and send her home with her new supplies plus some of her old stuff from my basement. Last time we made a blue and green batik D9P block into a doll quilt. Fun with my mommy! Yay! (I'm 38 yrs old he-he). Love reading everyone's plans, great thread idea.

After a beautiful day yesterday, today is cold and crazy windy. I'll be staying in, sewing binding onto Carolina Christmas (Bonnie Hunter's mystery from last year, finally back from the quilter. It'll be on my lap and keeping me warm as I sew!

I'm hoping to have my sewing machine fixed. The tension is off and I"m taking it to my LQS where I bought the machine and keeping my fingers crossed it will be fixed. I had quilted almost 1/4 of a quilt and had to take it all out:-(
