I have another confessional from the diary of a craftaholic. I have recently become absolutely smitten with quilts. I keep oogling every quilted treasure my eyes can find on Pinterest and numerous blogs and somewhere along the way I got it in my head that this was something I could do.
I am the daughter of a woman whose sewing machine literally collected dust in the attic and claimed rights to writing the book "How To Sew With Safety Pins and Hot Glue" (she really could, she made the top to my prom dress with a scarf and no-sew glue..see below).
With this heritage, I have NO IDEA how I have convinced myself of a sudden ability to sew. But after a trip to the Fabric Mill and falling in love with 20 different absolutely gorgeous fabrics, I guess now I am committed to this project. Oops.
{See How Beautiful?}
I am telling all of you out there in the infinite bloggersphere and universe of the internet because I need someone to be accountable to. You know how when you are in Alcoholics Anonymous you have a sponsor to hold you accountable? Well my blog is now my sponsor and by posting this I know I am going to have to make a follow up post of my progress and the final quilt.
So here I go...on the journey of quilt-making. And as Michael's very wise Aunt Karen told me "Now you are a piecemaker." Get it? :)
