I want to make a quilt...

... And no I have never made one before but since I got my sewing machine and started actually using it I can't stop thinking about what I can do next!

So then I stumble across Susan Weinroth's blog. And I see this...





And then that was it, I have not stopped thinking about making a quilt ever since! Isn't she talented?? Not only is she a fantastic scrapbooker but she sews and has me totally inspired.

Oh boy.

Once I decide I want to do something, I pretty much become obsessed about it until I do it lol

So... now my thoughts are full of fabric and colours and needles and thread and walking foots? Whatever they are. Do I need one?

I'm completely clueless as you can see.

But it's wintertime and I'm determined that Ashleigh will have a homemade quilt to snuggle under (or maybe her teddy can snuggle under depending on how big I make the thing lol).

Am I being too ambitious?

I actually asked Ashleigh if she wanted me to make her a quilt, and in typical Ashleigh style she says "Yes! Can we make one now? I'll help!". Everything is now, now, now in a 4 year olds world lol. But now that she knows I'm planning to make one I have to do it. No backing out. She won't let me ;)

Okay, so tomorrow, I'm going to look at fabric. Wish me luck.
