I'm learning to use my rotary cutter so that I can make my first quilt. I got a bunch of purple(my favorite color) fabric on clearance, so I'm finally going to take the plunge and try my hand at a basic patchwork quilt.

| I'm just learning to quilt with the BOM group on here, and I love it! I never heard of a rotary cutter until this venture and I am wicked with it! What a great tool! |

If you take a strip of good old white adhesive tape and put on the back of your ruler it will help it to stay put when you use your cutter.

I have been quilting for about 25 years and still love it. I have made one or two for everyone in my family.
I love it

Diana, those table runners are great! And the dresses are too sweet. I'm slaving away over my mini aprons and I need to start working on my farm themed quilt block swap. Carrie posted some really cute ones on the block swap , very inspiring. I love looking at all the things everyone makes. And I have a baby quilt I am working on for December's farmgirl, just a little behind.

Hello neighbor Diana, well I can see why you don't go out much in the winter. My but you've been busy. The items you made are beautiful.
I've been working on a large quilt(my first) and it isn't very good at all, looks like an 8 y/o made it. One without experience.
I've also made a tote for my mother. I've also made a pillow for the pastor's wife to match the one I made them before they moved. Otherwise, I've just been patching jeans, for me, DD, and DH.
I don't know how to post a picture or I would show you.
Thanks Diana for showing what you've been up to!

I'm quilting, of course. Have to make an orange quilt for a graduation present...wow...orange. Anyway I got all of the fabrics today and made two of the blocks. It's going to be very pretty. I'm so surprised. Also knitting socks. I decided to try to learn how to do two socks on two circular needles at the same time. So far so good. we'll see how it goes.

Diana, your projects turned out really cute! I've been working on an afghan I'm crocheting and I need to get back to spinning some wool I have. It's a long process because I only have a drop spindle. Someday when I've got some extra money (ha!) I'll buy a spinning wheel. I'm also making some doll size aprons. Always something to do...
