Refining My Skills

I used to watch my Mom sew. She has an amazing talent to make something out of nothing. When I got into high school I was determined to take a sewing class and become an expert. I'm pretty sure I failed miserably. My sewing teacher was far less impressed with me...I was not my sisters!
My problem. I had not an ounce of patience. However it was going to come out was good enough for me. That was until the finished product was a disaster. Then depression would set in. Since then I have put a lot of time in with my Mom, and have watched my sisters over the years. I know now that it's not as hard as I was making it and quality is always better than quantity.
After Paul bought me a beautiful antique sewing machine for Christmas (it runs like a dream) I started making things. At first I had to get over that voice that was telling me that my skills weren't refined enough.
My first project was a quilt that is almost done! This was the second project. If I can do it....you can do it! These cost between $35-$40. I did two for $7.
This is the tutorial I used...the internet is my best friend! It was so easy.

PS I used a 12 inch piece of boning on each of these because the 16 inch was way too big. I'm a little more private than that!
