Getting Excited for Quilting!

Not only am I finally to the point where I can spend some quality time with my quilting projects, I think I am going to take advantage of a new opportunity!

On my FB feed popped up an event that I might be interested in.  It is a class for Beginning Quilters, offered at the Rossville Quilt Shop on every Tuesday in February, during the day.

Not this sounds like it was created just for me.

Yes, I know that I have made quilts.  I know that I know some of the techniques.

But what intrigued me with this were several things:

  • learning nine different blocks (that will get me out of my comfort zone of just squares
  • sashing (still baffles me, no matter how many times Betty tells me how to do it)
  • borders (yes! I love them but I am not sure how to add them so they look good)
  • machine applique blocks (would be really good to know)
  • it is close to Hilary's house
  • it is a formal class setting, not just telling me how to do things
  • I will be able to see progress
  • I will have a finished quilt when the class ends
  • I can learn more about binding
  • the timing is perfect

I ordered the book.

I printed the list of supplies needed.

I will call them today for more details since we are not going to Hilary's today and I can't just 'stop by.'

I am excited!
