Since Chris has no time to play lately...I decided I needed to start working on some personal stuff. I have been craving time to spend doing crafty things like making purses, pillows, quilts, etc. for years it seems like. Growing up, my mom was super talented...she made all my clothes for years when I was really little, then when I was about 7 or 8 she opened her own quilt shop. I got dragged to every quilt show, shop, worked booths and in the shop, etc...for years and got tired of it! So it is funny to me that now, I want to quilt. I think I am getting old, or domesticated, probably both!
About 2 years ago, I mentioned to mom that I wanted to start sewing again (I made a few quilts when I was younger but have not touched a machine in years) and she got
excited and bought me this really nice Bernina sewing machine. This thing is great! I can do all kinds of stitches...course I will stick to the straight line for now. Anyways, now that we are here and I have a little bit of room, I set up a sewing area and have started on a quilt. I will post pics once I get it a little farther along...it is really simple, just squares for now! I am so excited to finally have some time and a place to do this!
