Hello again. I am back to my blogger Blog. I hope my old friends follow me and I hope to make some new friends. 2012 has gotten off to a rocky start. One of my dogs passed away, my husband's business was robbed and I've been working so much I barely know what day it is.. but I'm hoping to turn it around and make it a good year. One of my resolutions (along with the ever included : lose weight, exercise and save some money) is to sew more and sharpen my skills. I am a self taught quilter. My minimal sewing roots have a strange beginning. I won a refurbished Singer sewing machine at a night at the races raffle. Everyone at the table laughed and laughed at the thought of me sewing. That same year I bought my first pattern and made those same people ridiculously funny fleece hats for Christmas. Then I discovered Simply Quilts on HGTV. I was hooked. My first quilt was a basic patchwork quilt big enough for two king sized beds. I think that was 2004. Many quilts, many quilt books and many quilt blogs later.. I think that my skills can really still use a lot of tightening up. I think that I missed some really important basic skills that I probably should have learned along the way and this year I am going to try to fill in those blanks. To get the ball rolling I just joined my first online quilt class. Can't wait to get started!
We'll miss you Tater.
