My first quilt, two blocks at a time

Still excited about the Craftsy website! The free block of the month is a very nice way to ease into quilting. By the end of the year I will have a full quilt. I had a little trouble with this month's blocks, and I may redo them before the final assembly. Also working on the couture dress. Maybe I will finish it and wear it to a luncheon on Friday. Sewing is a great hobby that allows me to create with my hands. Such fun, and so much better than spring cleaning!

I have been reading other blogs for years and have never taken the time to create my own. I thought I would take a stab at it. When I have time, I like to sew. Unfortunately like many others I find it easier to start projects than to finish! I hope to finish a few of the UFO's in my sewing room.  I am hoping that writing this blog will motivate me to complete projects and not just collect fabric.  I am really good at collecting fabric, I have more than I care to admit. You can see a little of it next to my dress. I have signed up for several of the classes over on the Craftsy website, and I really like them.  There is a freebie monthly class for beginning quilter's, which I definitely consider myself. Thought I'd post my latest creation which just needs a hem.
