We have been meeting together every Sunday since October. Each Sunday we learn a little Spanish, work on the details of what we will be doing and bond together as a team. So far, things seem to be shaping up well. We have decided to teach the Cabercar women how to turn old t-shirts into quilts. We had a mini sew-a-thon a coupld of weeks ago. There we learned how to quickly hand sew pieces of fabric to t-shirts together. I was amazed how fast hand sewing can be. I am not a machine sewer at all and hand sewing is a totally new concept. We were each given the assignment to sew nine 12x12 blocks of fabric together. I finished my set of nine in about 2 hours. In our next sew-a-thon we are going to be learning how to bind the quilts. I am looking forward to this time because it is a great chance to bond with the team and learn a new skill.
