I bought a video and a book at a Sew and Quilt Expo last Friday and now I am off to the store to buy a bunch of threads and such to get going. I am worried that I will lose all will-power when I get there and go crazy. I have been trying hard to limit myself to essentials only, but this is a totally new endeavor, so I am going to really have to work hard at limiting myself to what I need to get started and not go overboard.
A few months ago I took a cake decorating class, which turned into two more cake decorating classes and probably $400.00 worth of supplies sitting up in my pantry in a huge plastic storage container... for the next time I get a wild hair to bake and decorate a cake.
I am worried that this will end up being another flash in the pan hobby. Have any of you done thread painting? I am posting a picture of the book. I would like to know if others have done this so I know if it is worth investing time and money into, or have others found it less than what is seems.
