... on my knitting, that is. I have started quilting. I am taking a beginner's quilting class, and I love it! I knew absolutely nothing about quilting, the how-to's. All I knew is that I love fabric, and I wanted to create something with it. It is alot like knitting, with the endless possibilities of patterns and yarn combinations. The class started in September, and ran about every other week until everyone finished. I am finishing the handstitching on the binding of my quilt today, and I couldn't be more excited about it. There are tons of mistakes in it, but I do not care. I cannot say how much I enjoyed making it. To think of how far I have come in a couple of months is mind-boggling to me. I went from not knowing how to turn my new sewing machine on to zipping along at a decent rate, but not fast by any means.

Started: September, 2012
