One New Years Resolution
I'm not listing my New Years Resolutions this year. I read through last year's and it was a depressing realization as to how many did not get accomplished. So instead of doing the same thing, you can just read my blog unknowingly following what may or may not be a resolution.
I will tell you one, however. I want to learn how to sew - I've probably ment
ioned this before. But this time, I'm arming myself. Since Mom got a new sewing machine for Chrismas, I'll be getting mine back from her. I also received from both sides of the fam (mine and Jeff's) sewing supplies. Pin Cushion, scissors, needles, a sewing kit, etc. The only thing I need is fabric and some thread. Perhaps I'll check out some fabric stores on my lunch hour one day this week.

Anyway, after perusing online this afternoon looking for bedding for our new bedroom set, I came across this rosette quilt. It was beautiful. I want to learn how to do this so bad. To be able to make my own things would be a dream come true.

Uummm....I wouldn't even take on that project without a lot (LOT) of time on my hands. Start with something a lot smaller so you don't get frustrated. That quilt is more a craft than sewing. I believe those rosettes are hand sewn individually first. Yikes!!
Yes, its not that they are hard, just time consuming. They are called yo yo quilts. Its takes a lot of the little circles and they are done by hand. Looks like fun to me. :)
OMG. That quilt is insane! I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole. You know they sell 'quilting machines' that will make projects like that way easier.
I started with pillows. They are fairly easy to make and you can experiment with pattern and style. Plus, you can give them away as gifts! (you've probably received some of my master pieces... yeah right!) haha.
