Well, I'm new to the world of sewing and quilting. I've helped my mom cut out pieces for quilts, and come up with ideas for quilts, but I've definitely never quilted one. I think on my ex-mother-in-law's quilt I quilted about an inch of it. My mom hand quilts and machine pieces.
I think part of the reason is I'm a perfectionist and I don't want to screw up. But I like to create things. So before I get to the important things like quilting, I've been making little toys and things for a couple of upcoming babies. I have all these ideas and half started projects hanging out on my dining room table.
But I'm proud to say, I finished one today!! I made a little bear hat for a baby out of blue & yellow fleece. It's super cute, but I'm considering it a prototype. I would like the ears to be a little bigger, and I need to remember to make the stretch go sideways so that it can stretch around a head, rather than up and down.
So does that mean it's actually finished? I don't think it does. haha. Ohwell! At least I know what I'm doing for once. Next I'm going to work on some baby booties. I'm sure I'll have prototypes of those too cause they include elastic and I haven't worked with elastic since I was in Jr. high.
