I did find I became slightly more competent the more I cut, but still.Stomper Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038937073264645029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-63554602969082222712013-12-18T15:26:53.195+00:002013-12-18T15:26:53.195+00:00Good advice, particularly about having a cat.

What a great list for new quilters -- this should be mandatory reading!<br /><br />As for number 4, you do have two alternate options:<br />1) Eat dinner in front of the tv so that you don't have to clear the table, or<br />2) Take over a no-longer needed child's room for quilting. I prefer to stay as close to the kitchen and household action as possible, so, in your case that would be DD2's former room. I know it's a beautiful guest room now -- you'll just have to be extra tidy so as not to spoil the beauty!!!<br /><br />Carry On -- you're doing a fantastic job!!!Thimbleannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03650582809426872051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-66689375936492191102013-12-18T14:17:06.117+00:002013-12-18T14:17:06.117+00:001,2,3,5,6 I have learnt the hard way, 3a is purely...1,2,3,5,6 I have learnt the hard way, 3a is purely a matter of current circumstances - at present we have no cat! 4, however, I did actually think about when we last moved and I do indeed have a basement room - in fact we have three already in the house, as I knew the only way I would get any sewing done is to have it out all the time. I'm hoping with the current change of circumstances I might actually get to put this plan into action!Jeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14553005051612551946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23379328.post-5493235884589746882013-12-18T12:38:34.240+00:002013-12-18T12:38:34.240+00:00You're learning!You're learning!

Such deficiencies in elemenary proficiencies are why I abandoned sewing some years ago, and now I cannot remember how to work the machine. Lessons from a patient teacher are needed.persiflagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05161607100227748374noreply@blogger.com
