Last night my sister and I took a quiliting 101 class at JoAnn Fabric's. It was fun and I learned quite a bit. Believe it or not that was the first time I have ever sewed anything. We made 1 block, and they gave general instructions about how to quilt. I feel like I learned enough to continue on my own, plus the projects in the other classes are kind of ugly and I am not sure what I would do with them. So, now all I need is a sewing machine and some fabric and I am ready to give it a whirl, though it will probably take a lot longer to finish anything than I anticipate, since I am all hyped up from my wonderful creation at the class. The 2 of us have also signed up for a knitting 101 class on Monday. Getting all my handmade goodness on. As a child I was not so much into crafting as I felt that I did not have the patience for it, I enjoy it more now though I still feel that if I slowed down and relaxed about it the project would turn out nicer and more like how I want it to look then how it turns out. Guess I'll have to work on that.
Making quilts and scarfs and gardening gee I hardly recognize the old me but then perhaps this is more me than I realized.
