OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN.
I am not going to lie. Sewing machines have always intimidated me, but trust me. This machine is NOT going to get the best of me!
In order to begin my project, I actually needed to set up everything on my sewing machine. The took a lot of reading of the manual, watching short clips on YouTube, and making a couple phone calls. =) All turned out well (of course with more frustration that I would have liked). I have to say, threading a sewing machine is something else, and something else that I am going to have to get used to for sure, even if it is not my favorite thing to do. =/
So, here they are. All of my beautiful pieces of fabric, all cut into manageable 2" wide pieces (various lengths that I really didn't measure). I cant decide just yet whether or not this quilt will have a vertical design, or a horizontal design. I am thinking that we will wait to see how far my fabric will get me, then determine which way it will finish up with.
It really did not take me long to sew together each piece of fabric. It takes a bit longer to sew the long strips together. I do know that for my next project, I may spend a little more time planning, rather than just jumping right in. Although, because of the type of quilt I am currently making, jumping right in was not so bad =)
And there I go. Sewing my long strips of fabric together! I don't know why I did not start something like this earlier. It is actually quite fun! Not to mention a lot less intimidating that I expected it to be! =) I just want to go out and buy so much more fabric! However, I am going to finish one project before I jump to the next. Maybe. You know, it may not be such a bad idea to work on multiple projects, that way...I could save myself early on from potential boredom! For those of you who know me...it is pretty hard for me to stick to one thing for too long! Ha. =) I am having so much fun with this!
VOILA
Four Rows Done.
And much more to come.
