One of our Young Women leaders had a baby boy recently. #5!
To celebrate, we decided to teach the girls how to tie a quilt. You should have seen the wide eyes and heard the gasps from the girls.
Apparently, teenage girls nowadays do not know how to do anything that involves a needle.
Sad.
But we survived. We even made the girls Google instructions for tying a quilt, how much fabric to buy, and what supplies they needed. We took them to the fabric store where they picked out the fabric and yarn. And then we quilted. Well, not real quilting.... just tying. When I was their age my YW group actually hand quilted a baby blanket for our leader. One tiny stitch at a time. The patience our YW President had to let us come over to her house for weeks on end and hours at a time! Especially considering homemaking stuff was not her thing.
Now if I can just convince a few of them to help me do the binding on the edges!
