welcome!

I have always loved to create, design, play with color and textiles since I was a little. This is my outlet and the way I use my spare time. Granted, I like you, probably don't and won't ever have as much spare time as I'd like BUT I do try to make the most of it. Enjoy your spare time browsing my blog.

Quilt Block of the Month

I have found a quilt store that does a quilt block of the month for the whole year and then at the end you purchase the fabric for the sashing, borders and backing and sew the rest together and it's done! I like doing quilts this way IF I like the fabric and design. It teaches me new techniques or ways to put blocks together. I REALLY like this fabric line (don't know it off the top of my head) and love the colors. I'm going to make a king out of it for my bedroom. It's a good way to make a quilt because you do minimal every month then the quilt is half done by the end of the year and it's a matter of 10 hours max to put it together....well and then the quilting, whatever route you decide to go there. If you're interested, most cities have a quilt store that does something similar. It cost me $30 for the year for all the material and patterns for 12 different quilt squares.
