Beautiful pattern

A modest little arrangement, but charming.

Last night
"Is that Mina? We need to make a pattern, a beautiful pattern."
"We can make it out of newspaper. Fold it twice."

She taught me to sew, we would cut out patterns in fabric together, I would sew what I could, and she would do the hard parts, until I learned enough to do them myself.

Early in this visit we looked at some of my patterns online. We didn't get a chance to look at the newer fabric designs.
