While playing in M's excercise room/sewing room in October, I came across some fun squares. When I pointed them out M she exclaimed, "Oh those are for the quilt that I started making for you before C was born." Needless to say I got her mind thinking and she took up the challenge to not only finish my quilt, but make one for C. All was going well--one marathon Saturday watching 2 seasons of Eureka and M got my quilt done. She took the next week and spent the evenings working on C's. She was on her last seam before turning the quilt right side out, when the machine whirred to a stop. M had been watching TV and not paying attention to the bobbin thread which was empty. After rethreading the machine, the bobbin wasn't responding the way it should have. SO M decided that the C's quilt would have to be given to her with pins still in it and get the machine fixed!
But after Christmas the newly oiled sewing machine, which didn't need to be fixed--just user error on rethreading--finished up C's quilt and now both of us have nice warm quilts for our beds.
