My first post on a new blog for the new year!

Well, I decided I needed to start a new blog to keep track of my sewing & crafting endeavors. I've only been sewing for maybe a year now, and have made a couple of rag quilts, so I'm no expert as far as sewing goes. But I would like to learn more, and sew more, and thought I could use this blog as a tool to keep track of projects and share them. I would love to be able to make some traditional quilts, and that is my goal.

My middle DD is 10, and this is her 3rd year in the Sewing program in 4-H. My youngest DD also joined last year, so this is now her second year in the program. I have learned alongside them and using the internet. My mom did try and teach me many times as a kid how to sew, but I was a tomboy and had no interest then.

So there you go. I will try and post pic's of the few projects I have made, and maybe those the girls have made as well. So check back soon! Also, If you are new to sewing, I have posted some great learn to sew books on Amazon below.
