Mentor Log
April 20, 2007
12:00 P.M. -- 4:00 P.M.
Today I arrived at my grandmother's house earlier than twelve o'clock but our mentor session didn't start until twelve. At twelve we started to talk about what my main priorities where. I decided that I was at least a couple of weeks behind with my product. Because of my days spent in the hospital so I said that I needed to do something big to make my project a success.
At that very moment I decided to only make my quilt and the pillows to go along with it. To start me off my grandmother went to get the patterns for the quilt, the first thing we had to work on was figuring out what pattern we wanted to use. Soon I came up with a triangle-square like pattern, with the colors we chose, which was red and green. My grandmother convinced me that those were the perfect colors since the only time I would be using the quilt was during the winter and Christmas time of the year.
After choosing the pattern and color we got to work. My grandmother decided that I should hand sew the quilt that way I would have a more hands on experience with sewing. First she showed me how to thread the needle then she showed me how to tie the thread at the end so that the thread would stay in place and not go straight through the fabric. Next she told me how to place the fabric on the opposite side and how to sew to triangles together.
So for the rest of our time I sat there sewing as many triangles together as I could until it became time for me to go home.
