On the road with Alice. Heading towards texarkana for a quilt show. Should be interesting. Will post my illustrationfriday later. Hugs to ladykeats & Doug.
Do you know how to make quilts? I assume you would since you're going to see some. I just learned to knit, but next on my list is learning to make quilts. I really can't do that until next Christmas, though. I think I'm going to ask for a sewing machine and quilting materials for Christmas in the same way that I asked for yarn and knitting stuff for Christmas last year. : )
i'm in the beginning stage of learning to quilt. alice has promised to teach me. 8^)
at the show, they had where you could sew a block for quilts to be given to a children's charity. the pieces were pre-cut and all you had to do was sew. that was educational. lol i must have sewn stuff backwards several times, but the ladies there were so patient and friendly. it reminds me of what alice said...that quilters were some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. knitters, too. 8^) it was fun. i think you'll like it.
my first quilt will be a small wall hanging to be a headboard for my bed. crackerbox pattern with colors to match 2 david mack prints i want to hang in my room.
i also found a pattern at this show for a bag that would be perfect for my sketchbook, pens, copics, etc. 8^) i'm looking forward to sewing it very much.
