A new quilting and sewing shop has opened up just down the road from Mums. The lady that owns and runs it is very lovely and encouraging. So much so that as of next week I will be beginning classes, she assures me it is not out of my capabilities, me, well i'm not so sure, but am very keen to give it a try.
I love the idea of making a quilt that Lily can play on, sleep with etc and even more love the idea that if the quilt is loved and cherished it can be passed on from generation to generation.
So with that in mind next Wednesday I will attend my first quilting class. I am very excited! The class runs for 2 hours from 10:00am - 12:00pm. Lily will stay with my Mum as this is when she is usually having her morning sleep. I will leave Mum a bottle of EBM and I know that she will be fine with my Mum, Lily idolises her Nana.
And of course if Lily does get upset I am literally 2 minutes down the road.
This is the 4 materials that I will be using in the class to create the quilt.
The plan, if time allows is that I will also make a quilt at home, doing the same block each week that I complete in class. This will help to cement my knowledge and also outline any areas in my learning that I need to clarify.
This is the material I will be using for the quilt at home.
Here are 3 pictures that are inspiring me today.
What I wouldn't give for a studio like this one! My study come sewing room will have to do for now!
I just love the look of this alfresco area. What better place to sit and unwind with loved ones?
I am also loving this kitchen, on one hand it looks busy and cluttered but I just love the lived in look, very warm and inviting.
