my biggest crafty endeavor yet...


originally uploaded by rottnapples.

So, this may be the biggest crafty endeavor I take on yet--I am going to try and make a baby quilt for my pregnant friend. Hopefully, it will be finished just about the time her baby is due (in late December or early January...no pressure, right?)

I am so excited to start-- never mind that I still don't know how to operate my sewing machine and I have NO clue how to sew two pieces of fabric together much less make a quilt...That's what my mom is for. One day next week I'm going to schlep the Beast (aka, my sewing machine) over to my moms house so she can do it for me... um.. i mean, so she can help me get started...

oh-- I am still in the middle of the super secret gift. I feel I am making good progress on that one. I may not need to call for backup after all....

yay! so excited...

(don't worry--- I'll provide updates with how this project is going!!)

wish me luck! (oh, and if you have any sewing/quilting tips for a complete beginner, please share!)
