I have quilted (by hand) one quilt in my lifetime and that was over 15 years ago (a 9-patch and I didn't have very straight lines) with the help of my grandmother-I LOVE your tutorials and how you make it seem so easy, but you just may be my new coach. Do you do hand quilting or sewing machine quilting or both? what would you say would be a good project to start/practice the skills of sewing? I really want to make totes or your adorable fabric baskets, but I'm afraid of piecing...is it that hard?<BR/>ttmom42 at yahoo dot comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37018101.post-45915879189806966812008-10-07T15:55:00.000-05:002008-10-07T15:55:00.000-05:00Great armwarmers!
