Recently we went to Wyoming...hunting elk and moose(not me!)...and visiting relatives.
I had a quilt all cut out(my biggest setback to getting things done!) and I took my machine along. I never took a stitch on mine, instead I helped my niece make her own quilt. She was looking at some things I had made and said she wanted to make something-a quilt or tote bag, she just wanted to make something. She picked the fabric all by herself-it was very cute to see her running around the store with bolts of fabric, comparing and selecting and putting back. She did a great job of it too.
We pieced the back out of the leftovers and it turned out really cute. A few puckers but we only had less than a day to quilt it and bind it since my husband finally got his bull moose and we were ready(more than ready!) to head home(just in time to meet a new granddaughter!) The puckers really bothered me and still do. I was glad to show her how to make a quilt and she picked it up remarkably fast. I think she's a natural and I hope she pursues it. But I hated to let those puckers go! I keep trying to think of a way to 'fix' them even though we are 2,000 miles away! If we get to go back next year I may see if she wants to applique some fun stuff on the back! (Over the puckers!)
I'm sure it bothers me more than it does her!
