What could be better than a good day at the Quilting Cottage? I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoy working with the women of Mashaka. They come into the cottage every morning neat and clean and with big smiles on their faces. You can just tell they're really glad to be there. Today we began by basting our project to get it ready for hand quilting. There were not enough tables for everyone to tape down their project at the same time, so those who couldn't find room to baste, were the first ones to be working with Jeffrey on the sewing machines. The morning just flew by, with everyone so busy, they didn't even want to stop at tea time. Half of the women completed their basting, and the other half got their project taped to the table so they will be ready to begin tomorrow. Those who finished today, will work with Jeffrey on the machines tomorrow. Margie, I taught them to use your "spoon trick" when basting, and they all say "Thank you, Margie!"
