i put off fmqing as long as i could. i was terrified of it! i had promised my ddil that i would finish the baby quilt for the baby who was turning 1. then my son said, "in 3 weeks i'm leaving for london for 2 years!" omgoodness, i needed to make him a warm hug from home! and i knew i had to do the baby quilt first or i would never hear the end of it!! so, i sat down with a small glass of mine, and humming yankee doodle,( because he went to london), and started and it was FUN! and liberating! move over, charisma, and all you wonderfully skilled and artistic quilters! in 20 yrs i may be where you are, but for now? i'm having a blast!! who knew this could be fun?//!!! so rock on, steph!
