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.
I've been sewing for waay more than 25 yrs. and there is no way I could put a quilt top together in a day. Freaks me out, too. But I don't even worry about it. I just do it because I like to. Unfortunenately, I do other sewing and in all those years have still not learned to get started sooner. I'm currently going like a mad woman to get t-shirt bags done for 7 granddaughters & 3 daughters. For Christmas, of course! lol! Be a miracle if I get done!
