In the Beginning....Adam & Eve learn to Sew

Over the past couple of days, I've taught a few ladies how to do something that Adam & Eve taught themselves fairly early in the beginning of time....how to sew.  They took leaves and sewed them together for covering....the first "go-green" family (and also how God taught them a good lesson on choosing quality material or quick and easy!)

Friday night I had 4 ladies come over and some threaded their needles for the first time!  Others were just wanting to have some fun and really work on perfecting their skills....along with helping me out.  Saturday, another 6 ladies came over and we did the whole thing again.  Everyone left with the beginnings of a Nine Patch quilt....granted there was some who fear they might just get one place mat made!

I've put together a slide show for the ladies, of some of the basic stitches and techniques we went over.  And also a slide show of the ladies.






The only thing missing from these classes was the one lady that has been my biggest supporter in every venture in my life...my mother.  She taught me well....I pray that I can teach others well also.  Here's one of her quilts that she made for one of the classrooms at church.

I have had a few ladies in church ask me about teaching them and I am going to organize a little get together. It looks like you had so much fun. Your mother's quilt is lovely.

Vicki, we did have fun. The ladies that met on Friday night were from my church and we had a wonderful time of fellowship and shared some prayer concerns when we took a break.
