UPDATED with pics! went to my first hand quilting class last night

It was fun! But we just picked out fabric and cut templates. I have to cut my fabric as home work before next class.

We're making a 9x9 square of our choice (I'm doing a friendship star). I'll post pics when I'm done!

UPDATE:

Why does it scare you? I haven't started sewing yet, so maybe I'll be scared after today too! Chat Icon Chat Icon

I'll post my finished square, and then see what you girls think I should do with it. I'm thinking a pillow...

Where are you taking the class? I would like to get into quilting but I'm really not detail oriented and I don't know how I would do with something that seems so precise.
Let us know how you make out!

I'm taking the class at a quilting store in MD near where I live. I'm sure most quilting stores have classes.

wow
where are you doing that? i sell fabric for quilting in NYC and admire anyone who has that much patience. you would be surprised to find out how HUGE quilting is outside of our area.

Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon I'm trying to bring quilting back, make it funky like some people did with knitting a few years ago Chat Icon I have all the stuff necessary to make my pillow but I don't know which stitching to use. I'm going to email my quilting instructor and ask her. Then I'll post when it's done! Chat Icon
