Sewing is contageous



This past week, I showed the sisters (and some of the primary kids) different ways to "tie" their quilts. I showed them 5 different stitches: blind tie, back stitch no tie, running square knot, utility stitch, and crows foot. Then we quilted on 4 different quilts.


One of them was made by Alta's mom, totally by hand. She keeps busy making quilt tops all the time, so I'm glad we were able to help finish this for her.


Two weeks ago at the General Relief Society broadcast, they had an afternoon Mother daughter activity, and I taught them how to piece a Court House Steps hot pad.



Several finished the project while we were there. It has been fun to see others get excited about sewing.
