12:00 P.M. – 4:00 P.M.
Today at twelve I went to Rocksprings Homes to visit my mentor. When I got there I walked up to the door and knocked. Soon as I was inside I went straight to the kitchen because she’s my grandmother and because it was lunchtime. After I finished lunch she asked me if I knew or had any ideas of what my product was going to be I replied no.
After a couple of minutes we finally got an idea to make a quilt with a couple of pillows to go along with it and maybe a pair or two children's clothes. Next we went down the hall to her sewing room and started to go through loads and loads of patterns. She told me that she used to use these patterns when she was younger to make clothing to sell for money. I asked her if people really bought these clothes and she was like yeah when she was younger these clothes were in style and also that many people didn’t have much to wear.
First we went through little boys clothing then we moved on to the patterns for little girls. After going through most of her patterns for about an hour we had chosen at least two patterns for each that we thought we might like to use for my product. After choosing those patterns we had to put away all of the other patterns. After minutes of doing that we moved on to finding some patterns for my quilt and after searching for a long while we found about ten quilt patterns that looked good.
Finally we were done with putting all of the other patterns we hadn’t chosen away and decided to take a break. We got together our patterns and went into the living room to find her zip lock bags so we could put the patterns away until our next visit. We found them in the pantry and placed the patterns inside the bags and in her room so that we wouldn’t have to go through all the trouble of searching for them again. You know how grandmothers are they love to collect stuff and soon there’s stuff every where.
My mother called and told me that she was on the way to come and get me so I told my grandmother that I would see her the next visit. On the next visit we plan to choose the fabric and to begin sewing the outfits for my product. So after that I finished cleaning up and went home and thats how that visit ended.
