I remember being out and abouts with my mom shopping, and there would be times she would see some fabric and drool over it. I would look at her and say "whatever mom". I didn't understand how she could think a piece of fabic was gorgeous. I don't know really how it happened, but we drool together now. Thank God!!!

Words are calorie free, quilting is so much fun, thank the neighbor and be a "poor" quilter having way too much fun.
Thanks for the laugh. |
do you find yourself looking at something (non-quilt related) to buy that you dont really have to have and saying to yourself "I could buy alot fabric for what that would cost". If you do your an addict. I havent had my hair cut in about 6 months, lol

Of course I remember mom using cereal box templates and scissors to cut each little piece. Then I went to a quilt show at Hancock Fabrics, found out about all the new, "make it easier" gadgets, sign up for a beginners class and the rest is history.

Well. a year and a half later, numerous rulers, 3 cutting mats, several rotary cutters, numerous books, special iron, quilt wall, boxes of thread, several gadgets, new sewing machine and special feet, and even two boxes of scraps and a little fabric (ha) I am so addicted, and so broke I don't know whether to love or hate my neighbor. Talk about eating my words !!!!

Congratulations and welcome to the club! I, too, grew up with a mom who both sewed and quilted. I let her teach me to embroidery but that was my limit. Now, many years later, I have the quilting bug so bad that my dh and my dd's give me limits on how many ufo's I can have and still buy more fabric. Which is good, or I would be a compulsive fabriholic and have projects stacked up all over the house! This board is kind of like a QA meeting, only we're not trying to recover, we're here to encourage each other to keep quilting! How fun is that?!
