sewing or quilting? On the blog received from Nancy Zeiman today, this question was asked. My first thought was that I know so little about new technologies that I haven't changed that much, but on reading some of the thoughts there, I realize I have truly learned a few things over the last few years. My first was that I made my first quilt using templates and scissors. Then I was hooked, so I bought a rotary cutter and a cutting mat. Oh, and there were the rulers which seem to be reproducing in my sewing room. Then I learned to "google" for things about quilting and one day, stumbled on the Quilting Board. What a discovery that was!! Along the way I had to learn how to navigate on this machine called the computer. My children and board members have often guided me to do more and more. And there is still much, much more for me to learn. If only I could learn to store all of these patterns that I have been printing out and placing in binders!! Watching tutorials has become one of my forms of entertainment. I've even taken a couple of Craftsy classes. My daughter gifted me with a Kindle on which I have read lots of quilting series and mysteries. I know some of you have the really sophisticated machines and "toys" but I am so content with what I have so far. Well, it's back to the sewing room to tackle one of these UFOs or piles of stash. What can I say? How have you grown?
