First Quilt Ever!!!!!

Well today my sewing instructor MM and I went to Joanne's fabric store to get some fabric for my quilt that I am making. I am sooooooo excited my words cannot even express it. I am totally ready to do it right now!! But I know I have to wait for a day until she can help me. My fabrics I must admit are totally GORGEOUS!!!! The fabrics are all Christmas designs so they are all pretty and gold and it feels like Christmas around here because we are all doing Christmas quilts! :o) I also should admit that I DID pick a block pattern that will take a lot of work to finish. But it is SO pretty that I know in the end I am going to enjoy having it so much. I am still not sure if I am going to give it away as a present for a friend or going to keep it. I think I will want to keep it after ALL the hard work I am going to put into it!!! :o) I love to sew so much and it really is FUN once you actually learn how PROPERLY to do it. Nobody ever really thinks about sewing as a hobby. It's more like only GRANDMA'S Sew..... Lol. I am glad that I learned how to do it by hand AND learned how to use the machine properly. Doing it by hand is great to know because then you can do all the small detail work which you CANNOT do on the machine. I will have to post a picture of my fabrics on here for you guys to see! They are SOOOOO GOREOUS!!!! I can't wait. <><
