Quilting

Laura totally beat me to blogging about the quilting class. The class was so much fun, I love the quilting community, and crazy quilting woman. Laura and I had so much fun hanging out at the quilting cottage. I think it's funny that we both took pictures of our blocks to post on our blogs. Here's mine-


Quilting is my new obsession. I thought about quilting all day long. Every time I walked into my bedroom and saw my block I got excited. I just wanted to keep working on it, and if I had a sewing machine that is what I would be doing right now. I am excited that I am on a sabbatical. More time to sew, bike, exercise and be creative. Hopefully one day I will be so good at quilting I'll be able to do my own patterns, and actually finish this idea I had over a year ago:


I think a desert scene would make the coolest quilt (see another sketch here).

Quilting just encompasses everything I love: math, color, fabric, creativity, precision, ironing... it's the perfect hobby.

  2. Great block! It's been years since I began quilting, but I still feel that same excitement each time I start a new project, and sometimes the love and joy just overflows onto everything around me. =) Hope you get a machine soon.

  4. Grandma Pack likes the Quilting Cottage. You and Grandma should quilt together. She'll let you use her sewing room and she would be so proud. Then she wouldn't have to be disappointed in the rest of us lazy no-goods who don't quilt.

    If you make that rad desert quilt I want to see it.
