Spring Break at our house means GET TO WORK! Well, not really, but the girls did get to work on their Personal Progress goals. As young women in our church Ginger and Gillian are involved in a wonderful program that helps them to set goals to improve and learn and grow in faith. One of those goals was to be involved in planning, shopping, preparing and making meals for the family. One night they made Ritz cracker chicken with rice pilaf and caesar salad and it was delicious!
Another goal they chose was to learn a homemaking skill and spend 10 hours working on it. So, the girls decided to make patchwork quilts during Spring Break and we really had so much fun working on them! We shopped for the fabric.... and everything else we needed, including a new rotary cutter and mat for me. :) Then the girls got right to work cutting out their squares...
They sewed each square together...
They added the batting and then tied the quilts...
Then came the time consuming part... hand sewing the edge with a blind stitch.
The girls did a beautiful job! I was very proud of how hard they worked and how well they turned out. These girls are going to be incredible homemakers some day.
Ryan was feeling a little left out, so I whipped one out for her baby doll.
I love my girls!!
