One Stitch at a Time

Ok, a few of you know my dirty little secret: I don't sew . . . it's sad but true.  I have plenty of fabric, an old Dressmaker sewing machine (obtained at a garage sale years ago) and even a designated, "sewing room" (well, it's closer in size to a closet).  Even with all that, I honestly can say, "I don't sew".  Oh, every once in a while I will have an idea of something I would love to make but I have this serious block when it comes to actually sitting down and sewing.

Drum roll . . . . yesterday I took a beginning quilting class co-taught by my dear friend Jan aka Misses Stitches.  I completed her President's block (4 patch) and a 9 patch using Whispering Grass.  I also learned what those terms meant!   My local quilt guild is putting the pressure on me to enter next year's quilt challenge.  I have an idea of what I would like the quilt to look like, but the actual sewing . . . ?? . . .   If anyone would like to do the sewing for this project, I would LOVE to co-create it with you.  Needed: patient sewer willing to indulge goofy designer.  [I'm serious!  Please email me if you are interested.]

While I am on the quilting topic.  Please venture over to Daisy Janie's blog and check out her first quilt - designed with her amazing organic cotton quilting fabrics (Geo Grand) and accented with the Harmony Art Chocolate Brown.  I think it is LOVELY!
