Well I finally bit the bullet and started sewing together a charm pack I bought. I decided that 32 small squares would be a great way to learn. I also love that they were already cut to size! I am not done sewing them together yet, but not too many more rows. Those FBC quilters will have a lot to teach me on that retreat. I feel pretty confident sewing the squares together. I was so nervous to just start the crazy thing. Pretty fun so far. This will be my quilt in training. I am hoping to learn to do some hand quilting on the retreat. My mom says you "get addicted" and I think that could happen pretty quickly.
PS I got the call and my dressform came in today. Get to pick her up tomorrow-Yippee!!!
I used my daughter's camera this morning after I sowed seed, to take pictures of our new 48X52 ft.concrete barn floor. I will be so glad when there is a barn standing on it. It will have an apartment in it with a full bath. Two stories of space for my husband's tools and projects. This view shows part of our backyard. The rocks are huge that we had to lay down for the base of the driveway. Not fun to rake or move. I also included the pictures of my charm pack that I am working on and my daughter's embroidery project that I finally turned into a pillow. Random grouping but cute stuff!
