Happy Birthday Mandi

Well today is Mandi's birthday. she is 26. Where does the time go? I don't think that I'm getting old until one of my kids have a birthday and then wow, where has the time gone. It goes by faster and faster.

Well yesterday my friend, Pam, and I took a quilt as you go table runner class. Well I hope she is still my friend since I talked her into taking the class. I'm very new to quilting, even though I have been sewing since the 7th grade. They didn't tell me when I signed up for the class that this pattern was one of the hardest and I don't think Pam has done quilt piecing or quilting. I had a good time and I think she did also. We didn't get our project finished but I'm to the point where I think I will be able to finish without much more help and I should be able to help Pam finish hers. The instructor was very nice and very helpful. I don't think she realized she would have quite a few beginners in her class. She said that she probably should have made it a 2 part class or had it go for longer than the 4 hours. Pam and I stayed for 5 hours. I can't wait until it's all finished. I think it will be really cute with the material that I picked out. I may change the backside color. I wasn't quite prepared for needing that big of piece of material and that was the only fabric that I had with me that was big enough, so I may change that part of it.

Hi Shari,
The class was fun! I laughed at myself for the boo boos I made! :)
I gave myself permission to make mistakes and not worry about it.

I had a great time and can't wait for the next class we are taking together. It was Mandi's birthday, Kim's is in Dec. I think Mandi had a good day. I called to wish her a happy b-day and then she stopped over so I could get a measurement for the elastic.
