Jumping in

That is what this feels like to me.  I'm just diving in.  I have been reading around blog land for a year and a half now.  It has been so inspirational to my sewing, quilting and knitting, but especially to quilting. 

I had never made a quilt and thanks to the wonderful blog Sew, Mama, Sew I made my first quilt (pictured above) using this tutorial from Helen at Quilts and ATC's.  Thanks Helen!  I've never met Helen but I am very thankful that she posted that great tutorial. So just like today, with blogging,  I just jumped into quilt making.  That is why the fabrics are kind of wonky in that quilt. But I did learn a lot with that first quilt.  One of which is a good border and binding fabric can bring it all together.

So here I am a year and a half later and I am jumping into the blogosphere. I know nothing about blogging..... I am learning as I go.  I will try to share some of what I learn about blogging as well as some fun sewing projects.  I would like to share some of my work and hopefully post a few tutorials. But for now let me introduce myself.

My name is Kathy and I live just out side Boston, Massachusetts.  I am a mom of two wonderful teenage girls ages 16 and 14 and the wife of a sweet and caring man.  I have been sewing most of my life but just started quilting back in Feb 2008. I have found so much inspiration on the blogs that I read, I just want to be part of that community of sharing so here goes.......Thanks for stopping by!
