So, I have been off of my blog for SO LONG!!!!! However, while I may have lost the few people who followed me, I am still going to give this another go. This spring I took a sewing class (made pillowcases table runner and a bag) and found that I am in love with it...more specifically, quilting! My class wasn't on quilting, although my teacher is a fantastic quilter. I bought a book "Quilting for Dummies" and started watching quilting videos on Youtube. My first quilt was using my leftover material from making a rag quilt comforter. I just kind of tried to make a pattern...with the help of my lovely husband. It was so much fun! Lots of errors and a great learning experience. I love it!
I have now started working on my second quilt. It has taken me a lot less time than the previous one. I guess I did learn something! lol If I could spend all of my time quilting, I certainly would. However, my little squirts and life dictate that I don't do that. I will be blogging about my quilting experiences in addition to my life as well. I can't wait to see any progress that I make!
This is the front of my first quilt. I LOVE the colors!
