Finally getting my groove back?
Hello everyone!
I started quilting many many years ago but let the hobby fall by the wayside when I discovered stamping. I found that it was easier to feel a sense of gratification from hand making cards because the end result is seen in a very short amount of time. However, in the last 6 months I've managed to make a lap quilt top comprised of 4.5 inch finished star blocks, complete a lap quilt top for DD#2, and add borders to DD#1's lap quilt. I'm pleased to say that all three lap quilts are ready to be sent out for quilting. I've also made custom window treatments for DD#1's room using quilt fabric that she selected from my stash. ( Believe me, this isn't as easy as it sounds because it requires lining as well as interlining to provide body ). I'm now in the process of making quilts for them to use as headboards behind their king size beds. After that, who knows? I promised myself that I would start to make a dent in my very sizable stash. Does this mean that I'm starting to get my groove back? - dlm. in Central MA |

I've missed the friendships, laughter, and the advice since I've visited here last. I've pulled up my chair and grabbed my bag of Skippers ( nut-free M&Ms ) to pass around to those with peanut/tree nut allergies. Got my needle in hand and now I just need someone with bifocals to thread the darn thing for me... - dlm. in Central MA |
