As I was meeting the ladies in my Quilter's Academy class yesterday and listening to the comments some were making throughout the day, I realized....these are my people!!! I'm not the only one who has a "stash" of fabric, and a huge need for a creative outlet that involves sewing of some sort. I felt very comfortable and fit in quite well (take that, Joe, Kristen and Kaitlyn! - They think I'm some sort of hoarding freak). Yesterday's class was a start at the very beginning class; whereas the other class I'm finishing up was a jump right in and start a quilt class with a few basics thrown in. I can see that I will enjoy being in this group. I will want to join the Norman Area Embroiderer's Guild and go on the mystery retreats and sew and sew and sew. The mystery retreats begin at the shop where everyone boards a bus and goes to a house somewhere in Norman specifically for that purpose. You bring all your equipment with you and you receive a kit and you sew all weekend long and make a quilt with other ladies.
I feel like I did when I became a Girl Scout leader. It's something I was born to do, enjoy immensely, and feel very creative. And I'm growing the obligatory "big butt" from sitting on my *** so I'll fit right in!!!
Anyway, I'm channeling my inner Granny (I wish I had gotten her old sewing machine)and waiting for the day one of the girls permanently moves out of the house so I can have my "sewing room." I'm not sure how long I can be patient......

Your quilting blocks look great! I can't wait to see the finished product.
This is awesome! I have those same feelings of wanting to be creative and crafty. I just lack the skill set needed!
I think that's great. Frankie bought me a sewing machine, but I just could never get into it so he uses it now. :-)
Love, Merry
