It's not much, but it's a start!
Hello friends,
I am sharing a picture of my new sewing table. My old one was actually warped and the the machine sat crooked on it! It's definitely nothing fancy, but it suits my purposes.
I am a new sewist. I have a good friend guiding me through the process of making some square-patch pillow covers and two square-patch quilts, then I want to make a shower curtain on my own. I am also learning from online video tutorials and books and plan to take a class in March.
Previously, I posted pics of my pillow covers in the process of being made, but the pictures weren't true to the actual colors. These are a little better. They are being made with Amy Butler's Soul Blossoms collection of fabrics. I am still playing with the order of the patches!
I am a huge Amy Butler fan, and the quilts I am making will be one with Soul Blossoms, the other with the Love collection.
Thank you for letting me share these pictures with you. I actually thought I was going to start all of these projects quite some time ago, but felt intimidated by sewing. I have gotten over my perfectionist tendency and anxiety now and feel more confident sewing.
Still, lots and lots to learn, though.
Have a nice day,
Karen

Welcome to the wonderful world of sewing and quilting! You'll find a lot of assistance on this board and Missouri Star Quilt Company u-tube tutorials are amazing!!! Here's a sample, it's a wonderful way to make 1/2ST's (half square triangles);
