I have decided to take up the incredible art ot SEWING.  I know what everyone's thinking.  But trust me.. In a year or so, I should be a master at it! =) haha that's a joke!

But in all seriousness, I am wanting to learn how to sew.

Not because one time, a button fell off a pair of jeans, and my ex boyfriend was the one who sewed it back on (as if that weren't embarrassing enough) haha.

It's because I am really wanting to create a quilt.  My great, great grandma made one and a lot of my childhood memories include cuddling up with that thing.  It's so old and worn.  I love that.  I want to make my own quilt, so that when I get married and have kids, they can snuggle up to it during family movie night, or when they're not feeling well and want to lay around and watch tv all day.  Or when they're just cold and want something to keep them warm.  I think that would be such a great thing for them to find comfort in something that is made and delivered by someone in the family.  And as much as I'd love to keep handing down my great great grandma's, I would like to start handing down one of my own.

I have been doing a little bit of research and have narrowed my quilt learning to two types of quilts...
