Quilting

I wanna learn how to quilt! WAAAHHHH! *stomps feet*

I am a hopeless crafty person, I want to be one sooo bad, but it doesn't come naturally to me. I can scrapbook (barely) and I can cross-stitch, but that's about it.

Quilts have always called to me. It's in my heritage as both great great grandmothers and great grandmothers on every single side and angle of my family were amazing quilters. My mom can't quilt though so she isn't much help with my tutoring. I don't have a good sewing machine, and my mothers friend has kindly offered me hers. I have begged a lesson from her as well and will do that tomorrow. So far, all I've managed is some hopeless hand stitching (I am not a perfectionist type person so I'm wonder if I'm a bit too slap happy for this time of exact craft?) and managed to look at about a million "how to quilt" books and mags ...and it still seems very complicated to me. Although everyone says it's not.

I went to a Craft thing today at the church, but it was more like a 'bring your own work and do it' thing rather than a 'here sit down and learn' thing. But I still got some info about regular groups anyway.

So yes, new challenge ahead...quilting. I will keep this blog updated about it and post pics of my successes and failures, so people can laugh at me.

A few weeks of school holidays ahead now...and I'm wondering how I will be keeping Alira busy. I've got her enrolled in a soccer program coming up in July so have that to look forward to at least!

Hugs to all...and happy umm...quilting?
