I've been quilting for church for the last 7mo. It gets so boring! You make the basic quilt for everyone. Here lately I have added decorative stitches, Helped a little. .
Here's a picture of the new stencil I tried after practicing on a quilt for my elderly Mom. I couldn't believe how much I had improved.

Love doing that and it could become a habit though I keep telling myself I HAVE to learn how to do it myself. LOL! I made this from men's shirts. And I am really quite pleased with the way it turned out.

I still need to make some adjustments I like them. They are a little noisy but I like it.

I held off on buying the aqua and brown/tan fabric I wanted to use on my next quilt, BIG MISTAKE. It's all gone!! I have called all the local shops looked extensively online. Does anyone know whether those colors will be restocked??? They seemed to be very popular. How do I find out what new fabric will be coming out from the manufacturers. I certainly hope they come back I love the spa colors.

Or is it one of those skills that you either have it or you don't?
