I have been sewing most of my life. In the early days of my life, I liked to sew clothes. In the young married days of my life, I liked to sew home decor and kids clothes. When my kids were teens, I started sewing irish dance dresses. My 3 daughters are champion level irish dancers. I love to watch them irish dance!
I started making irish dance solo dresses for my girls because I couldn't believe how expensive those dresses are!!!!!!!! As I learned, I not only made dresses for my daughters but I made dresses for other dancers as well. I also became the dance school's embroiderer for the school dresses. I will post some pictures when I learn how to post them :)
Well, these last few months have come with a lot of changes in regards to my sewing responsibilities. My girls aren't dancing anymore. My oldest daughter got married. My middle daughter went off to college. My youngest daughter got involved in color guard and is loving it. So I no longer have irish solo dresses to make. The school is not going to make their team dresses overseas so I no longer have team dresses to embroider.
I realized that I'm a little bored.
Then about a month ago, a friend was showing a bunch of her quilt tops. I got stung by the quilting bug! BAD! I want to be a quilter! So I've been trying to teach myself by watching tutorials and reading blogs.
So here I go. Learning to quilt. I'm having a blast!
