• Inspiration From My Daughter?

  I think that Mary-Kate was so impressed with my having finished the other two quilts that she thought I needed to do some more.  This morning when she left for school she draped this quilt that she had made over my sewing machine.  All that it needed was some binding.

  

   

  When she came home she was surprised to find that I had finished it and left it in her bedroom. 

  Later she and Matthew had gone into the attic and got out the UFO box.  UFO stands for unfinshed objects.  I think that they mean for me to have the inspiration to finish the projects that are in that box.  It is full of mostly quilt tops and blocks that I had made in the course of teaching sewing and challenging myself to make different patterns over the years.  Now I guess the kids are right, it is time to tackle that little project.  If not the whole box at least some of it. 

  Good job on the quilt Mary-Kate.  She did a nice job of picking the fabrics and piecing the blocks.  I’m proud of her.
