I could sew a rag quilt? “Well, I can do it, I used to sew a lot when I was younger.” I took a trial run yesterday and I could sew! Riley has two machines and I was going to buy one of hers. I decided I could do this and we went to Hobby Lobby to get material and batting and all the stuff you need for sewing. The material was in shades of blue with some white. I was excited to start.
At 4:00 a.m. I woke up in a panic. I thought “I can’t cut out all this material to make all the squares for the quilt!”As I settled in back to sleep, I had that on my mind. I woke up in the morning feeling uneasy about the whole thing.
Riley came over today and I had trouble cutting the squares, so while I watched, Riley cut them out. The feeling came back that I can’t physically handle this project or future quilts I wanted to make.
Riley said she would make it and I can take the sewing stuff back. Sometimes in our minds, we think we are younger than we are and that we can do things we used to do. I feel sad that I’m not doing it, but glad my talented granddaughter can. It’s going to be a beautiful quilt!
