February 2015 Snow Days
It has been a crazy February 2015. Snow, ice, frigid cold temps. We have spent many days at home snowed in. Unable to drive to work. Luckily my husband can work at home. Being cooped up I get in the mood to do something. I made 2 quilts in the past couple weeks. They are small mini / lap quilts. One I made because I saw a similar one on Pinterest and loved it. All black and white. It was a rag quilt. I've made them before but really loved the black and white. The other one I made with the help of my 3 year old grandson Case. When I quilt he has always loved to sit on my lap at the sewing machine. He would want to push the pedal. I have never wanted to discourage him from helping or learning and trying new things so I turned the stitch speed down where I could control it and let him push away! It made him proud to help me. Builds a child's confidence to know you trust him to help. It also provides memories that he will cherish as he grows up and that I cherish knowing children
