When she's got them paired off and she's happy with them, she starts sewing. She uses a 1/4" seam and some neutral colored thread (that way she doesn't have to change it for different colored fabrics.) She sews them all together, and ends up with a big chain of them like this, on the floor underneath the sewing machine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sewing Tip of the Day
Take good care of your sewing machine. Keep the bobbin area inside free of dust, and oil it regularly. If the needle hits a pin, replace the needle. Everybody always asks what kind of sewing machine Mom has. She just has a regular one that came from Sears 30 years ago.

Your mom has a good eye for colour and patterns. Her combinations all look so good! :)
All of those colors look so pretty in the kitty quilts. Our Lady likes learning how to make a Kitty Quilt - she used to sew alot but hasn't for a while.
