Hey Tonsau7, if doing repair sewing is getting you back in the sewing mood you must be good. Repairs are enough to ake me pack the machine away. Give me scraps anytime.
|
welcome, Welcome WELCOME!!!!
No project has to be overwhelming. Just 5 or 10 minutes of sewing while the laundry is in the washer, or waiting for the potatoes to boil, and voila! It's amazing how much you can get done in 1 week, then 1 month! |
I like the word slacker... good idea..welcome to the new comer.
|
10 minutes - my 15 minutes minutes a day of hand quilting turn into an hour. (now that the gkids are back in school) Just take the 1st steps.
|
welcome sister quilter, just look at the pictures of the
quilts on here and you'll want to put them on your to do list. |
Come on Tonsau7, YOU CAN DO IT!!! Like many of you, one's stash can overwhelm a person and then nothing goes right. But we know you will slip right back into quilting so we are waiting for your photo posts! Waving High And Wide Here from Missouri. Welcome.

Just a nudge and some gentle persuasion. Come on Tonsau7, YOU CAN DO IT!!! Just 10 minutes at a time is all it takes to get you going again. Remember, YOU CAN DO IT!!!

One is the one Rhonda is doing, and the other one is the farmers wife. you only have to do a couple blocks a week. Please come and play with us. Rhonda does some amazing blocks, that as soon as I weep out another jean quilt. I am going to start, and catch up. because I am doing both block programs. It would be a great way to get you on your feet again. the farmers wife you will need to get the book, and the post says closed, but just jump in and join us.. Please. God bless.

Welcome Tonsau7 from Argentina.
I always find that going out shopping or ordering some new material gets me motivated to start sewing something new. There are so many talented people on this board. Just go to Pictures and look at some of the outstanding work they all do, that should inspire you. |

I'm a member of the slackers group. That way I can wait until others have found all the difficulties of the square and post ways to make it easier. :D
Yes jump in and get started. But be careful, this board is an addiction all its own. |

I was visiting son in Texas and was able to buy quarter yards cheaply and brought home a small bag full of stitched hexagons. I am having lots of fun doing them, I just hope sewing the rows together isn't to difficult. |

Tonsau7 Welcome! I'm from Indiana. I look through all my sewing and quilting books for inspiration! I'm a bit of a bookworm! hee hee!
|
Welcome to the board. Look through some magazines and visit a shop with your sister It will help inspire you. How about making a baby quilt to donate to the premie ward at your local hospital or a small lap quilt for someone in a nursing home. Set a small goal and smile when you reach it!

Thanks again to all of you for the warm welcome and encouragement.
