It sounds lik...Hi Connie & welcome to quilting! It sounds like you're going to have a very happy retirement! I'd be happy to bounce ideas around with you. Many years ago I was an activity director at a nursing home (as they were called back then), too! All of us have been beginners in quilting at one time or another, and we're always beginning new projects that stretch our skills. I appreciate your feedback. Come back soon cuz I've got some nice things that I've been working on to share :-)RunningHenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15225873436946504614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716312922086166427.post-56075132508605428192014-01-25T11:52:15.426-08:002014-01-25T11:52:15.426-08:00I love your pillow, your freehand quilting is amaz...I love your pillow, your freehand quilting is amazing. I have been turning practice pieces into mug rugs, and pot holders. I am so happy to have found your blog. I am out looking for a few new quilting friends to share and bounce ideas around, with. I am a retired activity directory of an assisted living home, a wife, mother and grandma who is enjoying the extra time of retirement and filling it with fun sewing and crafting projects. I love quilting, but I am very new to it. Please come visit my blog. I would love to have you follow me back and even get in on my latest Give-A-Way of 2 mug rugs and a dish towel. <br />Keep smiling . . . hope to hear from you.<br />Your new blogging sister, Connie :)<br />Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716312922086166427.post-20641250263430550352014-01-23T14:25:59.849-08:002014-01-23T14:25:59.849-08:00I hope you do try it again.

I didn't like my own practice particularly, but after letting the pieces sit there a couple of months, they grew on me. I've made some others into mug rugs (coasters) to use in my "studio". No one else has to see them, LOLRunningHenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15225873436946504614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716312922086166427.post-73193717821216044322014-01-23T07:20:18.534-08:002014-01-23T07:20:18.534-08:00I think that is a great idea, to use the practice ...I think that is a great idea, to use the practice blocks for something instead of letting them go to waste. I tried FMQ exactly twice lol. I always seem to expect results immediately and if I don't get them I quit lol One day though I want to try again, I guess I just need to be braver! <br /><br />Stopping by from Lee's hop <br />http://www.domesticdeficitdisorder.blogspot.com/2014/01/wip-wednesday-jan-22nd.htmlTanyiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09224929508541591849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5716312922086166427.post-90563950815718804642014-01-22T19:41:07.186-08:002014-01-22T19:41:07.186-08:00Thanks for checking me out, Di.
