Many of my followers and quilting friends have told me that I need to change the name of my blog because I am not an amateur, but at heart, I always will be. I call myself an amateur to remind me that every stitch, every fabric shape and every seam is more perfect when it looks like it was made by a human being (especially if it’s me, and I am not perfect). This way I spend more time admiring my finished masterpieces and less time ripping out stitches. This is just a little bit of my journey...

Scrappy Quilt Fabric Charm Swap (Update)
Just wanted to update everyone on the status of this. I posted this in the Flickr group today:

Sew, I'm missing 13. Some of you on this list have already contacted me to say it's in the mail. I'll keep updating the received list as they come in.
I had one package that was opened and arrived in a baggy! Anyway, some charms were missing from it, so I am going to replace the missing ones. Good thing this is scrappy! So, you may not all have the same! Thank you everyone for the little surprises I found in some of the packages too! I've tried to send a personal thank you, but I may have missed a few in the madness :) I didn't realize how stressful hosting the swap can be. I'm thinking on the next one, I might change some rules a bit :) make it easier on me!
Happy Memorial Day!
MIke.
PS: if you need to communicate with me... send me an email: amateurquilter at gmail dot com
Flickr communication really sucks.
I'm thinking of doing a round 2. I'll keep you posted.
I have Google+ comments activated, so you can only comment if you have a Google account. If you do not have a Google account (and don't really want one) you can comment on my Facebook page, Twitter feed, Flickr, Instagram, or Pinterest pages! ...On any of my photos or posts!!! I love getting comments! You can also email me at amateurquilter at gmail dot com! I will always respond! Thanks for stopping by! .... Mike.
