Ok after a lot of hassle, here is the next installment of my fabric and stitches blog. As many of you know, I am currently unemployed but I am very actively looking for a job because all of this 'free' time is going to be the death of me.

The above picture is of me having a moment of pure bliss at the Bonnie Hunter, Midnight Flight class that my quilt guild held in New Hampshire. I am not sure how I made it through the day but I did and even completed one quarter of one block -there are 36 or so in the top. Yes, I have a long way to go but I did learn where the 1/4 inch is on my machine, how to chain piece and also stack and cut four patches. I learned alot.

Now I know there is an alteration to this block but it is mine and I am keeping it. I will dare anyone to find it when the quilt top is done.

This is the first of several cot quilts hat I have made. Most of my quilts that I have made to date have been for other people. Now that I am participating in DaGMT, I have deciding that I will make a quilt for me and me only. I have chosen the 'No Diamonds in the Sky' by Calico Carriage Quilt Designs. The colors that I have chosen are aqua, tan and off white background.

I have to go start the sewing machine and hope to post more pictures soon now that I know how.

Here we go, day one of accountability. The DaGMT challenge had begun. I was able to come home from work and go directly to my studio. I have found a quick table topper and was able to slash up two toppers. Once I figure out how, I will post pics.

The beginning of it all

Here is where it all begins. I am a creative, independent spirit who is looking for the next page in the journal of my life. I am excited to begin this journey and hope that you enjoy the trip with me.

I enjoy many things and find a way to get over involved very quickly. My new word is 'NO', after many years I am finally putting myself first.

My desire for this blog is accountability - for myself. I wish to post updates on my quilting, knitting and overall self discovery. Remember when I said I was an independent spirit. I am starting to keep better track of my life, so lets see where this crazy trip called life goes.
