Learning

I have never appliqued and was interested in learning, so Samantha and I set up a sewing date with a very talented quilter where we received a lesson in applique.

Samantha made some very cute potholders:

The seed packets were appliqued on.  It gives these potholders such dimension!

I, on the other hand, between talking, snacking, joking, laughing, and story-telling did not manage to be quite as productive.  All I accomplished was cutting up some fabric and sorting the pieces into plastic bags by color.

Even though I don't have a lot to show for my day of supposed sewing I feel as if I fulfilled my goal.  I now know how to applique, in words at least, but more importantly I spent some quality time with my best friends.  I smiled so big that the people I was with commented on it.  I shared a meal with the people I love, and I laughed so hard I nearly spewed chili out of my nose!
