Young'uns

In the morning I'm going to teach a young woman how to cut fabric for quilts. And probably how to sew. She's never used a sewing machine, thought she was going to cut 'just blocks' for a 6' x 6' quilt for each of her bridesmaids and groomsmen (that would be six, and the wedding in next spring). She's supposed to cut everything out and have it ready for a 'marathon sewing session' with her future MIL who is 'a fantastic quilter' who told her to find 'cheap flat sheets' for the backing and solid colors.

So pray for me .... LOL. I've got Alex Anderson's 'Start Quilting' and list of the equipment she needs all ready. And my sewing room has been somewhat mucked out. Or at least hidden or shoved into some corner where it's less visible.

Wish me luck and patience.

I liked your alternate of online gambling much better - or could you take up selling automatic weapons at garage sales? Taxidermy? Polly

Sunny, I think you have to "unteach" her a few things first!

Easy now. Let's think about this very carefully. The bride's future MIL is a fantastic quilter - so the bride says. It might be best all round to not mess with the bride/MIL relationship. What would you gain if you shattered that perspective? Polly

OOOOH! A teach-in! Fantastic! I'd love to be there to learn too. So much I have still to learn about quilting...

Polly, I was very careful not to say anything about MIL's plans. The only bit I interjected was to tell the gal that if she buys sheets to use anywhere in the quilt, she needs to be careful to buy 100% cotton so it will shrink in the same manner as the cotton she's using in the top.
