The Amateur Quilter

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...

Sewing During a Pandemic

I want to start out by saying "Hi, Alex!" You know who you are. Thanks for still reading/following my blog (lol). I updated My Finishes page today. Man, there was a lot to do...about a year's worth of quilts to post pics for. I will say I have been making tons of party shirts during the pandemic, but still been making plenty of time for quilts. I've finished a maple leaf quilt top that I found years ago. I finished a quilt from 2012 that was a block of the month. I've also finished some old blocks for a Christmassy quilt found in Virginia. I have 2 quilts that are next to my longarm waiting to be quilted and 3 babies already born waiting for their quilts. Crazy year, but good for finding sewing time. Take care everyone!
