15 Questions

So there are a few blogs that I like to follow and they do a "Fill in the blank Friday". I have ripped their questions off a few times I must admit. Go check out the legit "Fill in the blank Friday" gals at The Little Things We Do, Everybody Needs a Little Sugar and Beans and Ink.

I decided to take a different spin and hope that you play along. I picked 15 random questions and would love for you to comment on what your answers would be.

My Paternal Grandmother- Carrie Louise (oh yeah and I am the one grandchild that looks just like her)

New Hobby: Part Six

Wow this thing is wompy. The fabric placement and putting colors together was a cinch for me. Cutting the fabric and sewing a straight ¼” seam, not so easy.

In trying to get the edges to some how match up a bit better, I began to cut the sides.

What the Hell was I thinking?

Notice the right edge…. All I can say is WTH??

I must have been hungry and in a rush… yeah yeah that is what it was. I was trying to “get done” and dressed to get to a birthday party.

Oh I messed this up and am really unsure how to fix it...

New Hobby: Part One

I think I failed to tell you that I have NEVER used a sewing machine, never cut fabric, dont know how to use a yard stick and dont know how to properly pin fabrics seam to seam.

Three years ago, I asked for a sewing machine for Christmas. I am not sure why, but my sweet mother got me a "beginner" Singer machine. It has been in the box since the day I got it. My Mom, Aunt and good friend Linda Mowry have all promised to show me how to use it. I still didnt know until last week.
Oh, but I was determined to start my new hobby, quilting.
I pulled my machine out, put the "how to" DVD out and practiced.

I still have alot to learn, but I got threading the needle and filling the boobin down.

Stay tuned
