I'm not sure if it was to learn something new or to hang out with other ladies...okay it was mostly to spend time outside of the house with other ladies =). But I signed up to take a quilting class (thanks Pam for inviting me). Yesterday was the first night-it was a lot of fun and I sure learned a lot. I chatted a bit with an older lady who was making a quilt for her first grand daughter. I quickly noticed she was making a quilt that looked just like the quilt my grandma made for me. "Sun Bonnet Sue" was the pattern and it's filled with little girls with bonnets and you can add special things (which my grandma did) like kites, balloons and wagons. That little blanket is very special to me; the pieces are worn and the binding is loose and that makes it more beautiful than when is was fresh and new-it's been loved. The quilt I'm making is for Hailey. I sure hope she'll treasure it the same way I treasure the quilt my grandma made for me.
