The movie de jour is up. Day 35
I've been talking on my main blog and I think on this one, for awhile now about doing sewing projects. I was originally going to try a dress but that didn't pan out. My other project is a quilt.
My mistake on that was trying to get my mother's help on it. Which ended in nothing but her hissing at me about not cutting the material.
How can you make a quilt if you do not cut the squares??????
So, being the book person I am, I decided to get myself a book on quilting. Quilting for Dummies. Yes, a "for dummies" book.
It arrived yesterday and all I can say is this could take me all year. I had no idea there were so many tools involved with it. Shaped rulers, cutting wheels, steam machines, wooden frames, stencils, with a totally different approach if you're doing it by hand then if you are with a sewing machine {I'm doing it by hand as no one I know has a machine}
Scratch that, this could take me well into 2014.
