Here Goes Nothing!

Ok, so I'm new to this whole "blog" thing. I know, like 5 years (please tell me it's not 10) behind the times. But I've really enjoyed the blog from my local quilt shop and a couple of their employees. So, I'm giving it a try and, hopefully, with time will figure this deal out.

I tried this yesterday but everything I tried to write just came out wrong. Not sure if tonight will be much better -- something about 10 pm just shuts my brain down. I did finish a quilt tonight - super stoked about that. I purchased a kit about 3 years ago, started working on it about 3 months ago and it really only took about 3 days to finish. (Pictures coming soon!) That's just pitiful, I know.

With things pulling in a thousand different directions, no wonder it takes so long. This coming year I'm going to dedicate a little more time to getting things done. Hopefully, we'll have a modern quilt guild in Rocky Mount by that time. So with a little help from my friends, and a little motivation to show you all my finished beauties I've have more show and tells and fewer work-in-progress. 

I'll keep building to showcase all the "New Traditions" I love. So many things our grandmothers did are popular again - quilting, canning/preserving, sewing, knitting. Thankfully, the techniques have evolved and so have the materials. I love using a traditional quilt block with contemporary colors and fabrics. More to come very soon!
