I am now a Quilting Instructor

This past weekend, my daughter-in-law, Ivey came down for the weekend and I gave her the first quilting lesson. I was extremely nervous, to say the least. When she told me a few months back that she wanted to learn to quilt, I almost died from excitement. I don't know about anyone else, but most of the time, when I tell someone that I quilt, they look at me like I said that I was an alien. Everyone seems to think that only little old ladies make quilts. Well, obviously, they have not been to the Stitch n Quilt or to Little Quilts. But, anyway, I was really excited when Ivey said that she wanted to learn. We began last weekend with rotary cutting, measuring and perfecting the 1/4 inch seam. She learns quickly and I think that she is going make a fine quilter. I will be publishing some of her quilts here and on the website when I get it up and running. The website is in production, I am so excited!!!!

I love fabric and yarn!!!!

The Sweater

Alarid asked what pattern I was making, and so I decided to put the sweater on my blog. This is my very first sweater, and I am almost finished with the back. I have done very well with it so far. I will have my hubby take a pic of me wearing it when I finish it. Wish me luck everyone!

I love yarn!

Weather

I am so thankful for all the rain that we are getting, and it makes me think of fall and cooler temps. I am knitting a sweater, and hopefully, I will have it finished soon so that I can wear it when it does get cooler. I have a pattern for a warm and fuzzy throw made with Lion Brand Jiffy and I can't wait to start making it.

I love yarn!

Yarns

I am so amazed by all the different yarns that are available to knitters and crocheters. There are so many soft, comfy ones, that I just want to buy them all! I am a quilter as well, and if you could see my fabric stash, you would not believe it. I am now doing a yarn stash, and I may need to buy a bigger house!

LIFE IS GOOD!

Knitting and Crocheting

I love knitting and crocheting. I am much better at crocheting than I am at knitting, but I am working hard to learn. I started this blog because I wanted to help others with crocheting, and get help from the knit-experts. So, please use this blog as a place to get the help that you need!
