Howdy all!
Hello everyone!
I'm so very grateful to be here. I don't know anyone close to me who sews or quilts, so it really is a treat to find you all.
My grandma taught me to sew, and I've done that for many, many years. Clothes, bags, pillowcases, etc. I would make some rag quilts, or very simple square patch quilts, but never thought I could complete a "real" quilt. But one day I decided to give it a whirl. I signed up for a year long sew along where you made 1-4 blocks a month. I thought I could do 2 blocks a month...well it ended up taking me 2 years to finish, but I finished! The quilting bug bit me though. Unfortunately I'm really good at picking out projects and getting them started...but not so good a finishing. Partly due to life happenings, so I have to remember to give my self grace, but focus also.
I'd love to have some accountability to stay focused and finish. I'm still more of a beginner quilter, even though I've been dabbling in it for a few years, but I sure hope I can encourage you all too.
I think I've attached a pic of the flimsy of my first "real" quilt. (If not, sorry, still trying to figure the tech stuff out). I promise I did get it quilted and bound!
Blessings to you all!
