Mariah's Quilting Class

I am recuperating from my shoulder surgery yesterday, and am pleasantly surprised to find out that when you're interrupted from being zonked out on painkillers like 9 times in a hour, it becomes possible to get up and blog!! I didn't think I'd have the use of both hands to type, but I do - it hurts just a little, so for a change, I'll be short & sweet!

My mom taught Mariah how to make a quilt - and she gave it to me for Mother's Day. I've been sleeping with it today and it is nice & cozy! She worked on it feverishly for 2 weeks and it is beautiful! I need to take a photo of it. She was such a natural at it, and enjoyed sewing so much, that Grammy signed Mariah up for a one week summer Quilting class.
Today was the first day of class.

Here she is busy sewing away!
Everyone got to choose 36 squares and choose their own border.

This was what she accomplished today.

The instructor couldn't believe this was only the 2nd time
Mariah had ever sewn.

Good job Mariah. I joking told Kristin that I could sew if I wanted to and she proceeded to list techniques and terms that I wouldn't know . . . sheesh.
