Not that we have been to Church today, too many jobs to do! There was no post yesterday either because I went to Partner’s home and spent the day sewing with the Girls. I was saying that it is quite hard explaining something which you do automatically because you have been doing it for so long. Anyway they did very well, we made tote bags, and they sat and listened and did very well with the sewing. I had already cut out the squares 5″ x 5″ squares and once they had completed the top I brought them home and I quilted them and made them up this morning, beginning at 4.00am (I am going through another one of those phases of waking up anywhere between 2.00am and 4.00am!). Here are some pictures of the day.The Girls above sewing and playing with the fabric.
Me making sure Eldest sews in a straight line below.
Here are the bags completed, above is Eldest’s and below is Youngest’s.
It is a Missourri Star Quilt Company pattern from one of their YouTube tutorials. I found it quite a while ago and have made quite a few of these now, including one for myself. I also adapted the pattern for the Christmas presents I made for the market totes for DH’s Cousins and my best friend Jayne, below. I want to make one of these for myself and I think Partner and Fiancé would like one too, I am going to add them to my ever growing list!!!!!
Today I have been at Eldest’s garage working, as well as cleaning there and tomorrow I have all my home jobs to do, as well as washing & ironing to get done and grocery shopping too. Tomorrow I will show you Jayne & My lunch on Tuesday. It was okay but I don’t think we will go again. Happy Thursday everyone.
What fun to teach your grands a skill they can use all their lives!! Spending time with them is priceless!! I know I love my bag! You are a great grandmother – what do they call you? My, that sentence makes you sound ancient, and here you are so much younger than me!! xo S & Tara

Love the tote bags and it looks like the girls were really having fun and they end up with a project they will have forever!
