How many of you enjoy the process of making a quilt top and finding the perfect fabrics and patterns? Carefully cutting hundreds of pieces of material into dozens of shapes and following each direction perfectly (or perhaps coming up with your own pattern!) and producing a work of art? But then either suffer thru tying or quilting to get a finished quilt? Or hire someone else to finish it for you?
And how many of you love it all (except basting, of course Lol)?
YOU & I need to be working together!!!!!
I do NOT like quilting (I fight it or it fights me!!!!), but I do LOVE picking out the PERFECT fabric with the PERFECT pattern (I LOVE to FEEL fabric, because it FEELS SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD and it lets you know what it wants to be when it grows up!!!!!).
Machine quilting doesn't come easy to me at all. I spend more time stopping, starting, ripping out and it ALWAYS looks like I've made a MESS (like when the timing is out on your sewing machine). At least that's what I feel like my quilting looks like.
Too bad we live so far apart!!!
Happy Sewing!
