My mom always said that she only learned how to use one type of needle- the kind that you stick people with. The desire to stick people was never something that rubbed off on me. If it had I'd probably be in med school somewhere buried in books and ultra stressed. All of her sisters- about 6 or 7 of them as well as some cousins seem to be experts on the machine and seem to have daughters that never desired to incorporates sewing into thier skill set. My mom kept saying she was going to send me to Nicaragua to learn all these things but that never seemed to work out.
So when I heard that there was a quilting quad on campus that would provide everything we needed to make a quilt inclusive of instructions I showed up excited to make one.
The wonderful ladies who live in and run the quilting quad are here as volunteers and keep us supplied with a steady stream of candy and support. They are extremely patient and thanks to them I now know how to change a bobbin and I get to take this home with me:
