Mr Karate teases Mom all the time because whenever he asks about how something is done, she always says, "It's so easy..." He gives her a silly cross-eyed look.
"It's easy if you know how."
Mom thought you might like to know how. So over the next few days, she's gonna tell you. Because it would be a very long blog, we're gonna do one step at a time.
The first step to make a quilt is to get some fabric. (Now we're talking about kitty quilts, so we're not gonna get all complicated about measuring and stuff.) Mom likes to get fabric at eQuilter. But she also buys it from a store nearby. You want 100% cotton. When you get it home, it has to go in the washing monster, then the drying monster. Then it has to be ironed, to get the wrinkles out.
This picture is the fabric Mom and her sister bought to make a crazy quilt for their Mom. You might see some of these in the kitty quilts.
You can click the pictures to biggify.
Next step: Cutting strips. Stay tuned.

We like learning new things and step one was a good one. We love touching the warmth on anything that comes out of the drying monster!
Good luck and lots of positiveness to Gizzy today!
