So of course I decided to make potholders and placemats for my barn customers.
ONE potholder took me 4 flipping hours to make. I feel like I've run a marathon or something. I'm exhausted.
Ya'll folks who put together a whole quilt top in a day freak me out!
You'll get faster. Especially if you haven't sewn for 25 yrs. Most of the women who do the in one day quilt tops have been sewing for years and years. Hang in there you'll get faster and better the more you work at it.
