Welcome to my blog. Thanks for visiting. I am just starting this blog today. I hope you enjoy this blog as much as I am going to. I am not much for journaling or writing ideas or thought on paper. But I do enjoy sharing. Hopefully I will learn as much from you as I hope you learn from me.
I just finished up a quilt top last week using a kit I bought at the International Quilt Show in Chicago this past spring. The picture will be added at a later time.
We are presently living in our house while going through a major renovating process. It was rather exciting and fun at first. To see the transformation from day to day. Now it is turning into a bad camping trip. What an experience. We will probably never go through a renovation like this again. But, boy, do I have some pointers and suggestions for others. It will be nice when it is all done.
I teach sewing classes to kids at a local quilt and sewing center. It is awesome to see kids work so hard to learn the basic skills. It is important to me to pass the skills onto our younger generations just like our mothers, grandmothers, aunts, kin, or local women did to us. This year my two children took my class. I love it.
You ought to see the other end. They made matching tails.
About Me
- michelle
- Illinois, United States
- I am 52 years old, a wife, a mother of two, an aunt to many, and learned to sew about 44 years ago. I am lover of sewing, quilts, and projects, or should I say collecting the fabric and patterns for those quilts and projects only to be put into a box, closet, or to the side. Anyway, the easier the project the more fun it is for me. If I can see an end in sight quickly, I am more apt to do it. Otherwise, I end up with those UFOs like many others do. I envy those who like the challenges. I am also into genealogy. I have been trying to put together the family puzzle pieces for at least 10 years now.

Ohhhhhh Have I been were you were with the renovations. They never seem to get finished. You will, eventually, get through the camping stage. It didn't come fast enough for me but we survived,
Good start on your blog

Hey sis, Congratulations on your blogging. Just remember it is a balancing act to get everything done - as I try to finish about 20 different things before Tuesday. hehehe. You know only about 10 will be finished and I'll be thinking about the other 10 on my trip. Keep going!
