Playdate with Michelle

My niece, Michelle, came over today for a playdate. We started with shaving cream marbling. Unfortunately, the shaving cream had lost its oomph so we only managed to do one print and it was a little flat as the dye wasn't properly suspended. Never mind. I'll get a fresh batch of cream and we'll try it again another day. Then we made a disappearing nine-patch table runner top. Did I mention that I'm enamoured with the pattern? Michelle was apprehensive about the rotary cutting so I did the cutting. She did most of the piecing. I also did the pressing. But she decided how to put together the blocks for the runner (there are several variations possible). We're going to have another playdate in a week or so to sandwich and quilt the runner. I think we may just do some of the machine's preprogrammed stitching that she can do by herself. I hesitate to suggest freemotion since I'm not brave enough to do my own...
