A Sew Sew Day

This past spring, someone donated the beginnings of a quilt to Hearts and Hands, our bi-stake service project.  No one seems to know how to sew these days.  No one owns a machine, either. That means by default, I get to take the fabric home.  I'm not sure what the original person had in mind, but I spent the day getting it put together for tomorrow's stake quilting bee.

I was even lucky enough to have some company while I worked.

Hailey is an in charge sort of girl.  My mother would have called it "bossy". 

 I prefer to think of it as "assertive".

I was instructed to not disturb the babies.  That means I couldn't go upstairs unless I tiptoed.

It was a little annoying.

To be honest, I don't think they were sleeping anyway.

Hailey and Makayla were willing to break the "no food out of the kitchen" rule for me so  I could work while I supervised them.  They can be surprisingly flexible when it comes to rule-breaking. 

 Here they are rule-breaking at my family room work table.  I think Hailey is enjoying it a little too much.

I managed to figure out a fairly quick way to finish the quilt top.  It's not ugly, but it's not colors I would have chosen.

Have you ever noticed that when you get involved in a project, other parts of your life fall apart?
