And so it begins…

And so it begins…

I have wanted to learn for years, so I started buying but - not doing. In late 2020 after a year of enforced retirement, thanks COVID, i finally cut some blocks and sewed them together, again, thanks COVID! I didn’t know what to do with the blocks so I out them aside and started cutting and sewing again. Last week I came across a Jenny tutorial and went to work with the original blocks. Even though this is technically my third top, to me it is the first because these are the blocks that got me started. I sewed my columns together and then my rows but next time I will do rows then columns. And, with no fear at all cut that thing into three pieces! After sewing them together I had a hard time finding all the mistakes and just sat and looked at it and cried-for a long time! I let fear of not being perfect keep me from making anything at all. Now at almost 78 I have fabric and kits to make about 20 quilt tops. I haven’t tried the actual quilting part yet but I now have a goal, I want to make a top for each of my children and their children…only seven to go.
