I can't wait to see your wrap skirt!<br /><br />Last year for my birthday the Mom got me all kinds of quilting supplies because I had decided I wanted to try and quilt... (after 8years with my sewing machine I have only, just this past week, gotten to the point where I don't have to consult with the instruction manual every time I need to re-thread/re-bobbin!) Needless to say, I haven't begun quilting yet. You have inspired me though! I'm going to see if my local quilt shop has any courses I can sign up for! (BTW, I'm totally thrown by the whole cutting/pinning part-- do you have to iron all of your seams? Do you use the little plastic squares so everything is the same size? I keep thinking I'll never be able to get everything to be square! Talk about OCD!)Ruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00792420120553159434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105607278252204740.post-73415419033113795182009-05-21T21:31:01.560-04:002009-05-21T21:31:01.560-04:00That sounds like so much fun and it turned out gre...That sounds like so much fun and it turned out great!! :)beachy in the burbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10072916384423009466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9105607278252204740.post-75824707055898544222009-05-21T21:16:42.175-04:002009-05-21T21:16:42.175-04:00LOL!

I think you are not giving yourself enough credit.<br /><br />I think I have shared my sewing experience growing up. When the sewing instructor begged me to ask my mom to put me in something else for the summer other than sewing. Yet today when I ask my mom if she would help me to sew there is dead silence on the other end. LOL... <br /><br />I can't wait to see your skirt.
