Elle has been asking me to teach her to sew with the sewing machine.
I finally decided to do it.
We are going to start with a big project--a quilt!
Elle wants to document each step.
So, here it goes:
Step 1: Go to the fabric store and pick out fabric.
(note to self--leave Chris at home next time)
Step 2: (not pictured) Wash the fabric.
We did this step as soon as we got home per Elle's request.

Step 3: Iron the fabric.
Elle was quite giddy at the thought of wielding an iron.
We split the job--she did three, I did three.
She thought it was great fun.
"I'm doing grown-up work!" she said.
Step 4: Use Chris to cut a template for the squares.
He was very handy that way!
He also helped us come up with a pattern sequence
AND
He started cut the squares, since we all know about my
cutting handicap :)
Stay tuned for more!

holy cow! way to pick a little tiny easy beginner project. will you come make a quilt with me next?
Tal just made 2 pillows...a quilt! Whew, way to go!
never bring an artist to any function that requires decisions related to color, texture, etc. surely you know this by now :)
I thought we could use the input. . .
it's gonna be so fun! we're excited to see the progress. Looking forward to those prairie points!
