Nora was sick over the weekend, and needed one more recovery day yesterday. It seems like everybody is getting sick this winter. However, the people who say they wish we had one good hard frost to make the germs go away are getting their wish this week. I don't subscribe to that theory.
The kids always like to make quilts at my house, and it's much easier if there is only one at a time. In the top picture, Nora is cutting out some fabric fused with Wonder Under so she can fuse her name and a few designs. Above, she's choosing some fabric. There is plenty to choose from at my house.
Then the actual quilting. This was her first time with this machine, and it's pretty amazing teaching the technology to kids. She instantly got how to find the stitches in the various menus and the concept that some of the menus have additional pages. She also asked about the "heart" that opens the window to combine stitches. Lots of us older people stumble over that, but she understood right away how it worked and flipped through the menus to combine a bow, heart, and star.
She stitched around the quilt and was pretty darn happy. Me, too.
