While most of my local friends headed to Windycon, I went south . . . but not by much. Went downstate to Champaign, Il to stay a few days with my downstate family. I got some great time with the whole crew, and then a few days “just us girls.”  What do the Baumann girls do when they are at loose ends (besides marathon TV).  Well this weekend we started teaching ourselves how to quilt.  I got a tutorial from my MIL Pat a few weeks ago, I did a little research on the internet and then we just waded in.  We used leftover fabric from making Aprons (something Mom and I did a few weeks ago) to make matching pot holders. We tried a whole bunch of techniques, most of them with a reasonable amount of success considering our skill level.
