Long time no Write

Wow, has it been a long time! School this year has really taken up a lot of my time. I mean there have been other times I could have written but I was always resting for the next week of hard work at school. I've also been doing a lot of horseback riding. Almost every weekend I wake up at four in the morning and come home around noon. This weekend I didn't though. I'm too busy working on the nursery mats for my church. Man, have they been hard work. Today will make it a full week we've been working on them. We're going to give them all out to the nursery kids the week before Christmas. We were planning on making 80 so as to stock up for future nursery kids to come, but we kind of got too much fabric. We ended up cutting 120 pieces of fabric and that's just for the top. For the bottom we ended up cutting 90 pieces.
The process of making these mats?:
1)First we cut all of our fabric into 20X18 sized squares.
2)Then we used our cricut to cut all of the fabric for the nursery kids' names.
3)Using the cricut, we had to peel off all the names, not an easy task let me tell you when your cricut doesn't really cut them all the way and you have to use little scissors to cut them all the way out.
4)After that we ironed all of the names onto the fabric.
5)Then came the fun part! I got to sew all the names onto the fabric.
6)Then we pinned and sewed all the top and bottom pieces of fabric together.
7)After that, we cut all around the mats so as to tie the end pieces together. You'll understand better once I put pictures on.
8)The mats are finished!
Can you see how this is going to be a ten or more hour project?
