So today was spent with a good friend and lots of sewing. She wanted to make her first quilt today. We found fabric and I taught her all about rulers and cutting mats and rotary cutters. Poor thing was overwhelmed in the fabric store- hee hee. I don't have anyone around me that enjoys quilting, so this was a blast! I can't wait for her to finish so we can take a picture!

Aw, thats terrific!!!!!!

How wonderful to get someone 'addicted' along with you!

Sounds like you had a wonderful day! Be sure to post some pictures when the quilt is done.

Keep up the good work! We quilters need to take over the world one convert at a time. :)

Seriously It sounds like a great day!

Congratulations!! I remember the day I caught the bug. An acquaintance (I had met her through some other friends) asked me if I'd like to attend a quilting event with her and that was it for me. I was hooked. The best thing is that we are now best friends and I don't have to drag my DH with me to fabric shops when I want help picking out fabrics.

How fun for you both :D:D:D

How very nice for you , happy to hear you have a new quilting friend. :D

How nice for you, I've found a group of ladies I sew with on Wednesdays. It's fun to see everyone's work and share enthusiasm.

Isn't that fun!? I have a two friends that were inspired by my quilting to start themselves! What is unfortunate about it is that they are both friends I met online, and they live nowhere near me...so we can't play together. LOL We chat online a lot and I've had a million questions, but I love answering them!! I wish we could get together and sew. One of them has finished her first quilt and the other is done her top! I was thrilled for them both!
