When I first started quilting '07 my mother was sooooooooo excieted she bought me a featherwieght, all the assesories I needed/wanted and even sent me some of her stash. My very first quilt was made from scraps by hand I pieced them together, (wasn't real sure about a mechine yet) never having used one b4. She even sent cut up squares for the quilt. By February '08 I had 47 blocks, made a king with 2 pillow shams and 2 sconces for the windows. I started that in Dec. 07. Since then I have made 4 scrap quilts with that very same stash she sent me. Last year was the first time I ever bought any fabric but to go on a back of something I made. I was so thrilled I bought my first jelly roll and some nice pieces at the Cherry Blossem Fest downtown (Japanise print) I hope to get that done this year, I created my own blocks. But now I have no stash. All my fabric has a home/with a name on it.
