Folks,

I posted a couple musings over the summer regarding old family quilts as well as my newfound hobby - machine sewing and beginning quilting. Well, since I hadn't been here since, figured I should come back and be friendly!

I'm now in the middle of a 9-week basic machine quilting course at a local shop. Each week, students are introduced to a particular block or quilting process, and right now I'm spending a few minutes unwrapping a couple Marti Michell patchwork templates. I "cut my own" 12-inch block 9-patch and 4-patch templates from plastic sheeting. Will undoubtedly purchase more durable templates to replace these in the future - since I love how successful I am with sewing blocks if I use Marti's tools for the cutting!

I will post pics and/or other stuff when I can find some time.
