Hilo, Aguja y Biblia Pillowcases

Welcome to March . . . my friends and family in Kansas City say that the month is coming in like a roaring lion with a huge winter storm bearing down on the city.  Well, here in El Salvador it was a nice, toasty 90 degrees today. 

We started Hilo, Aguja y Biblia today after a nearly a 3-month break in January, February, March. Maria Elena and a few of the other ladies brought everything to make breakfast--scrambled eggs, salsa, fried plantains, bread, juice and coffee.  In the past we have begun working on our project and had the Bible study at the end.  Unfortunately, not everyone gets to stay to the end, so sometimes they miss the study.  Today we did it right after breakfast and started on the project after we finished.  

I made this pillowcase yesterday and brought it for them to see.

  
It's always fun for the ladies to dig into the boxes looking for fabrics that they like.  Today each of them picked out at least two fabrics--one for the main part of the pillowcase and another for the cuff.  

We were able to get everyone's fabrics cut today . . . . next time we will begin the sewing!
