Quilt Class


It's been over twenty years since I've done anything quilt wise. I have some vintage quilts that are now decayed beyond repair. For my last birthday, I gifted myself with a beginner class. Here's part of the project, which will be a generously sized throw for my new sofa. It's a Sunshine and Shadow patchwork. It's made my sewing together long strips of fabric, then slicing them crosswise to make the squares. The process was a lot of fun, and I couldn't resist purchasing more fabric for a bed sized quilt, which is almost ready to sew. I took my class and purchased fabric and supplies at Quiltology. I've been using the sewing machine there, as my studio is still in disarray. That place is buzzing on the weekends. I'm so pleased that this shop is taking off, which means it will exist as a resource for me. I have a third, baby sized quilt in mind for my Piccolo girl. My interest is playing with the colors, so I'm leaving the actual quilting part to professionals. I should be getting my first finished quilt in a month.
