Can't Wait!

I bought my first "jelly roll" a couple of weeks ago, (it is a collection of pre-cut fabric strips, 2.5" by 44") and I am patiently waiting for it to arrive. I think it is great that you can now by pre-cuts, this makes it much easier to sew straight!

I could not resist when I saw how cute, "Sherbet Pips" by Aneela Hoey for Moda Fabrics was.

 I am really looking forward to making my first quilt with this gorgeous fabric. I have found a tutorial which I really like and I am hoping will be easy for me. I think my daughter will love it! Will keep you posted on how it goes.... just have to wait for the fabric to arrive!

First Post

Have finally decided my blog page looks good and I am really excited to enter the world of "blogging"..... I am sure I will need to tweak the page as time goes on.

I have really been enjoying reading lots of peoples blogs about sewing and what craft items they are working on. I felt really inspired to start my own blog and share what projects I am thinking of working on.

I am a real beginner and after inheriting my first sewing machine off my very much loved Nan, I am finding that I truly enjoy the things I can now make! 

Anyway, getting back to the beginner side of things..... I am teaching myself how to use the machine and all the different techniques I need to apply. There are a lot of useful websites out there, but not many sites for real basic knowledge. So I am hoping as I learn things, challenges or triumphs, I will share them all on this blog and hope other beginners can utilize them also.

Enjoy
