Three years ago for my birthday, a friend bought me a quilt kit that I had fallen in love with. I thought it would be a perfect quilt for my niece. THREE. YEARS. AGO. When I first got it I was pretty overwhelmed by it. I didn't know where to start and when I started cutting out fabric, I cut some of it wrong. It all seemed too hard to do. It's amazing how we put things off when we think we can't do something.
But look at it now! Finished and oh so sweet! I can't believe I finally finished it! It's not perfect. There are a LOT of mistakes. But I must say, I'm pretty proud of it! I love that I can say that I did it all on my own.
The pattern was from All People Quilt And the fabric is Michael Miller
I gave this to my sweet niece for Christmas last year. She loved it.
Now I sew almost every day. I have fallen in love with creating with fabric. I think about sewing and fabric almost all the time. I find myself dreaming of sewing and patterns and new things I want to try. I don't know that I've ever been this passionate about a "hobby" before. I find myself getting excited to try new things. It's a far cry from 2009 when I was throwing in the towel. I'm so glad I found my way back. Because this just feels right to me.
One day I hope to sew too and I will go to you for help. I love, love, love this!!
