Quilting- it's going to be my new hobby!

I've decided to take up quilting! :) Along with my embroidery work that I've been doing- I want to learn to quilt so I can make my children something special for now and well, forever. My Grandmother was an awesome quilter- and sadly, I never learned. I did learn to crochet from her though...which reminds me, I still have to finish Gabe's blanket! 

Anyway, I find comfort in quilts. The beauty of them... the uniqueness. The warmth of knowing that they are handmade. Thanks to pinterest, I've found MANY designs of quilts that I'd like to make for my boys! I think they both deserve a nice quilt, right? =) I've found a few simple patterns that I've done a bit of research on and have decided that I am going to give it a shot. However, I'm still going to have to learn in order to do the more extravagant patterns that I like. Which is why I fully intend on learning from Jesse's Grandmother, Granny, sometime very soon! 

I also have a few other projects up my sleeve... Once I get caught up on my embroidery orders, I'm going to give them a shot as well! 

Well, that's about it for tonight. It's late and I'm tired! Night all!
