In a family where it seems that everyone is a gourmet chef, I have always felt slightly like the odd one out. Occasionally I enjoy trying out a new recipe or making a special dessert, but for the most part I'm just tired and hungry when I come home and I would rather eat something quick and easy. So this is my confession; I don't really like to cook. (Gasp! The horror!) I do cook, mostly for Karl's sake because otherwise I think he would eat chips and cheese every night.
BUT!
I have recently discovered that I have a different passion. I enjoy sewing! Mom gave me Great-Grandma Springer's sewing machine last year, and not knowing how to use it, I decided to take some sewing classes. I've learned the basics of sewing and have made several small projects like curtains and pillowcases. I'm currently working on my first quilt, and so far I have pieced two squares together.
I always assumed that quilting was difficult and for experienced sewers only, but it turns out that the work mostly involves being tedious and precise, which are two skills that I excell at : ) I think this quilt is going to be extra special because some of the fabric I'm using came from Great-Grandma Springer. Any other crafting projects going on out there?
