My friend made quilted handbags and I kept commenting how lovely there were. She said they were easy to make and invited me over to show me how. That was 3 years ago - and I got hooked! After making a few bags, cushions and an "I spy" simply squares quilt, I wanted to do intricate projects and joined a class. My first class was a stack and whack workshop - and I loved it, only problem I havent finished that quilt because when I went to the class, I saw another quilt class I wanted to do, and I went to that... I have finished that quilt top, and I have enrolled in 2 more workshops for this year and I signed up to the monthly beginners machine piecing and quilting class - I want to learn how to do fancy machine quilting on my domestic sewing machine, and I am taking the quilt top from the class last year, plus it will give me incentive to finish the first workshop quilt top so I can quilt it at the class.
