2. Learn how to applique.
3. Sew up the four Thimbleberries quilt kits I purchased in a fit of Ebay frenzy last year.
4. Do some applique Christmas presents, doggie blankets, poodle skirts and wall hangings to practice before I....
5. Start on my Ladies of the Sea Applique Quilt (like in December...) Can I say, hum...it's just a little intimidating for a newbie's first Applique quilt?
6. Make some dressy doll cloths out of the closets full of pretty fabric pieces gleaned from Joann's 75% off remnant sales.
7. Crack a Kwiksew pattern and learn how to sew on knits. Oh, first I have to learn how to read a pattern...
8. Suppliment my wardrobe with "couture" sewing.
9. Use my fancy 8 thread serger for lots of (???) things in order to justify the cost of buying the thing to myself...
10. And lastly..... Collapse from exhaustion!
That is the most beautiful quilt I have ever seen! May I ask where you got the pattern?
