So I finally decided to work on the quilt I've been wanting to make since Christmas. I got the fabric around Christmas time, and just never really got started. Amber got me into sewing, and I actually bought a sewing machine on Black Friday. I've been wanting to make a quilt ever since. Now don't think the sewing machine has just been gathering dust in a closet somewhere (OK it's been gathering dust, but that is just because I have horrible house keeping skills...cue Martha :-) I have actually put it to use hemming my mom's jeans, made a cat toy for Jack, made rice bags for gifts(the best ache reliever), and made Christmas ornaments.
Amber has made so many cool things, and she is my crafty inspiration. Here is my Niece Harper's room. Amber pretty much made everything (when I say made i mean sewed the charming bedding, painted and coordinated, and just made everything look this ADORABLE!)
PS. I fashioned the bird mobile hanging above the crib!
Amber is really good at taking found objects and transforming them into something you would actually put in your home. I wish she would share a little bit of her talent and help me decorate my house!
OK, so here is the test block I did, you can see what the fabric looks like. It's going to be a pretty simple quilt, seeing as it's my first. So keep your fingers crossed that I don't totally screw it up!
