Hello friends! I just wanted to welcome you into the adventure I am about to partake in! This week (once I get a hold of my sewing machine again) I will be starting on my very first quilt. I know...it is a bit extreme for a sewing newbie to start on such a crazy project. But really, who else would I be if I didn't? =)
Here are my thoughts:
Before I even start on the actual quilt, I need to go buy more of the necessities, say...more fabric for one! Also, a nice mat to cut on and one of those nice rolling blades! Also, I need to set up a space for all of this quilting. Thanks to my best friend for giving me the idea...I will have my whole upstairs dedicated to my sewing room! I just need to get up there and clean it out a bit, set up another table, and away we go! This is very exciting =D
So. Picture this.
Bright, colorful, crazy print fabrics. Are you following me? These fabrics will be cut into strips. After arranging these said strips into no particular pattern, I will be sewing them together, slowly, and carefully. One by one, these strips will become long strips. These longs strips will then also be sewn together, and before you know it -- I will have enough of them sewn together to be a quilt! CRAZY. You did not see that coming...did you?!
Ha. So that will be what I shall work on for my first quilt. It will give me a lot of sewing practice for future projects, and fancier quilts! I am excited to be sharing this experience with you, and cant wait to start sharing my photos! I hope you enjoy what I have to share!
Yippee! I can't wait to see what you create! This is inspiring me to get back into my own craft room and get things in order. : ) Thanks!
