Hi there!
I have just linked myself up to Plum and June's getting to know you, linky party!
So hopefully you are all visiting and wanting to know a little bit about me!
i should have made my blog all pretty before linking up, but I hope you'll forgive the randomness and clutter as I try to work out this whole "blog" business.
Anyway..... My name's Erin and I have been quilting since January. I am definitely still a learner and have spent hours and hours trawling the interwebs lately learning all kinds of new and exciting and slightly daunting and scary things. I am excited to try some new things and am hoping to stretch myself a little.
I decided to blog, because I was getting so much joy from other peoples blogs that I wanted in on the fun! And also because I am the only person I know who quilts so it's nice to have a place to have a think fest about what's going on in my head.
I don't know about you, but since I started quilting it has taken over my head. Everywhere I go now I see patterns and colours and spend my time staring at things, thinking about how to replicate that in fabric... And I can't go into Spotlight without spending at least $100 on more fabric. For someone who didn't even own a machine 12 months ago, I sure do have a lot of fabric!!
Anyway, I received advice that I have to learn not to ramble on these blog posts, so I'll be off, and I hope you are enjoying your meander through P&J's Getting Acquainted Link Up.

Good luck and you aren't the only one who has a bunch of quilty things going on in her head:)
ReplyDeleteNice to meet you Erin! I totally understand what you mean - last year at this time, I had about 3 yards of fabric - well, I'm not sure exactly how much I have now but at least 5 times that!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your tips that you posted on my "Halloween Debacle". I love the idea of ric rac and I think I may do that. Put a nice sized strip between the two houses and then sew the ric rac in rows down them. Excellent idea:) I couldn't e-mail you personally because your about me page didn't have your e-mail address, but great ideas. Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteImpressive - only been sewing a year and you have already built up a stash! I see quilt patterns all the time (I thought it was just me)
ReplyDeleteDropped by from P&J's link up - good to meet you and don't worry you quickly get the hang of this blogging thing and it's sooooo addictive :)
ReplyDeleteHi ladies, thanks for visiting. I have spent the weekend stalking your blogs, and you're all amazingly talented.
ReplyDeleteI know, I know...I'm addicted to fabrics and quilting too.
ReplyDeleteOutwardly I appear to be functioning normally but inside I'm thinking of colours and patterns, blocks and threads.
There is no cure I suspect.
