I finished piecing my quilt top and finished off the pillow from my
Basics of Quilting class! I'm having them quilt the lap quilt at the
store - that will be another learning project... Machine quilting the
pillow went pretty well (the hand quilted bird in the center went
horribly) but I'm anxious about taking a whole quilt just yet.
They're very simple but I'm proud :) Here's a pic:

And I'm thinking this is quite the addictive hobby. I spent all day
yesterday staring at fabrics and picking them out for my next project
- a sampler we'll make in Beyond Basics that starts Monday. 5 hours
in 3 stores! I had a chance to look at a bunch of the baby books and
quilting magazines you all have recommended as well - thank you! OMG
- it's a bit overwhelming and I just want to get them all....all!

WOOHOO.... happy dancing the jig with you! Looks good to me... and yes...
the addiction is quite strong!

Repeat after me.... My name is____________... and I am a quiltmaker
(quilt-a-holic... fabric-a-holic).

My problem... is that when I start the 12 steps.... they are always in the
direction of the nearest quilt shop! ;-)



So tell us more about the colors/fabrics for your next project!

Thanks guys!!

I like that - "quilt-a-holic" :)

My next one is much brighter - asian fabrics with blues, magentas and
greens. More jewel-toned. I found a fabric that I loved and then
matched it. I guess that's the way it's done...but it took me a couple
times to realize that it Can be done and isn't as overwhelming as I
feared. I was almost paralyzed standing there among thousands of bolts
(hundreds? felt like millions...) and not knowing where to start! The
women in the shops are great - taking time to suggest matches and
teaching me that light colors really are okay - and necessary (I'm
drawn to the darker colors).

So much fun!

I think that is the hardest part for me. I'm glad there are so many
wonderful and talented LQS employees to help!!
