Quilting for beginners

Friday, January 14th, 2011

I was out running errands today when I came out of Walgreens and it dawned on me, that I needed some vacuum bags there happened to be a local vacuum & sewing supplies store in the same center.

I went in and purchased some bags, but as I was about to leave I seen this lady demonstrating with some kids these pattern thingy’s on the table, This really got my attention, so I had to check it out. They were making a blanket or some kind.

These kids were really into laying out the material while the lady was showing them how to piece together everything to prepare for sewing. Now I ‘m really interested, so I get closer and I start asking question about what they are making, she says a quilt. It turns out this is something they do weekly at the store with all age groups, how cool is that.

The instructor gave me a green sheet of what materials I would need and the hours of teaching for quilting for beginners, if I was interested. WOW! This is so cool; I’m very interested in this.

Once I got home I went to Google and looked up quilting, and then I must have spent the next three hour just consuming all the patterns and info on the internet. Now I am going back next Saturday to take my first class in quilt making. I can’t wait this is going to be exciting. I am excited about making my very own quilt and look forward in showing you soon.
