Team Work

 Way back 

when I was in school and 

had to do a group project 

it was so important to pair up with someone

who actually knew what

working as a team meant.
 Remember when that didn't happen.

This year my dear friend, Norma and I

 teamed up to make

two baby quilts.
 

We belong to a quilt group that

meets in a local church and

makes baby quilts for a ministry there

to offset the 

use of the building.

It's a great win win situation.

  Norma had a bunch of Fig Tree charms
that she didn't think she'd be using and

those quickly got stitched into a Chinese Coins pattern and

a little square medallion. 

So easy.

In a recent post I mentioned 

how careful I am about marking on quilts.

Well, I decided to throw caution to the wind

and try the Sewline

Air Erasable Fabric Pen.

 It marks with a very fine

sharp line,

which makes it very easy 

to machine quilt on.

And then the lines

vanish in a few days 

depending on how dark you mark.

Mine were actually gone

in a few hours.

I loved that!

I'm not sure how the word "vanished"

is defined, but

with the baby quilts it didn't bother me.

I figured they'll be washed lots and

if everything hadn't vanished, it soon would.

It was great handing the quilts off 

after they were machine quilted

for my teammate to do the binding and labels.

Two easy quilts

done and ready for new babies

All done with perfect team work.

Until Next Time-
