Long time ago....
It;s been a while since I've been here.... I am an old man who took up trying to make a quilt a year or so ago. I don't recall what I ever spoke about here, but I signed up! I made a quilt/blanket (no pattern running throughout the blanket, just tee shirts sewn together with a flannel backing) from Hooters tee shirts. Then my wife told me I had to do one for our daughter with MSU tee shirts. Never went much further than that until this spring. My quilting mentor "guilted" me into making masks for this crap going around. I used my granddaughters sewing machine but was having difficulties going through many layers of fabric. So dumb me saw an add at Joann for a Singer 4452 on sale for less that was on sale for less than $200. And it was a heavy duty, so I bought it. Made masks.... first ones really sloppy but eventually got better. Once all family had masks, plus a few others, I started looking into bags/pack/pouches. So I think I have fallen into this trap of sewing for enjoyment!! I'm learning, I enjoy it, and want to do more. I recently pinched nerve in my back, so I sit here trying to look for/at things on computer and found this site again. So I will try to be around a little bit and raise some he...heck!
Don't say I didn't warn ya! I will ask stupid questions and look for someone who is knowledgeable about these new and different fabrics and tricks. Be patient with me!!!
Thanks!
