Quilting

A few years ago my Mom and I went to the Tacoma Quilt Show (I can’t find a link, it isn’t the machine quilters show that is first in a google search though). It was SO fun! We saw presentations and wondered around the booths. There was so much great fabric and project ideas there. We ended up buying a few small things - fabric and a pattern for a rag quilt for one. I still have the fabric here with me as we never started working on it.

In keeping with the great stuff I’ve missed while not paying attention to craft blogs, over at Booga J, she’s started doing a quilt block a day. What a great idea! I love that she is following the thinking that 21 days of doing something forms a habit. I’ve always been told that and admit to rarely following along. But this, this I could do!

I’m thinking I may start this in February sometime and send some fabric to my Mom so we could quilt along side each other. Or maybe I’ll wait until she comes to visit. She is planning on staying for three weeks and we could get a lot of quilting done in that time. Decisions, decisions!

   How very cool! I have only machine quilted and once…I made a huge king-size quilt made from old jeans … it was so heavy, but my husband loved sleeping under the weight and it protected our bedding from our dog. I have been collecting jeans since then to make another!

   I’ve made some small blankets, but nothing bigger then child sized. I am saving my hubby’s old uniforms (at least one of each) and some of the kids baby clothes for a quilt to be determined! Your jeans one sounds awesome! I’d love a heavy blanket in the cold months.

   Good luck on making a quilt with your mom. Hopefully you will post some pictures.
