I'm much better at baking and and things like photography, make-up and hair curling.Shahana Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15009395920763423378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665471149148449611.post-13084062183902284882010-08-29T10:23:08.793-04:002010-08-29T10:23:08.793-04:00Christina - I have tried to crochet a few times, a...Christina - I have tried to crochet a few times, and I can never quite get the hang of it. I always end up with my stitches too tight to continue. lol. <br /><br />Eve - We did have a ton of fun! I can't wait to see how your quilt comes out. I know you are super crafty, so I'm sure you'll have no problem with it. <br /><br />Zippy - It is always very cool to see how a quilt goes from one block to an entire finished piece. Thanks for the comment! <br /><br />Rebecca - Hmmm. . . .I guess I wished I had known that any mistakes I make are not the end of the world and are usually pretty easy to fix. When I started, I was so scared of messing up that it took some of the enjoyment out of it for me. Good luck with your first quilt!<br /><br />Maria - I'm not sure I'm good enough to sell them yet, but thank you for such a sweet comment. I've tried knitting (with some success) and crochet (with no success) before, but quilting is the one thing I really enjoy and am decent at. <br /><br />Collette - Oh yeah, it's already starting to cool down here in Ohio too. I've given away all my other quilts that I've made, so I'm keeping this one to snuggle on the couch with. <br /><br />Lisa - Thank you! You should try it! It's really much easier than it looks if you start out with a simple scrap pattern. I just started sewing a little over a year and half ago. Before that I had never touched a sewing machine in my life.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13080541079068509013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665471149148449611.post-3461736141377305582010-08-29T08:32:47.165-04:002010-08-29T08:32:47.165-04:00How beautiful!

I do knit and crochet, so I view sewing as my final frontier.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00997425800622671214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665471149148449611.post-34237320793617685022010-08-29T07:55:41.574-04:002010-08-29T07:55:41.574-04:00These are beautiful pics....sounds like so much fu...These are beautiful pics....sounds like so much fun!!

I say it's sad because my dad is a great tailor and my mom was a seamstress, and I'm pretty useless when it comes to making anything.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083115170638995687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665471149148449611.post-20812141425823822302010-08-29T02:29:18.279-04:002010-08-29T02:29:18.279-04:00That's so awesome!
