A Beginner’s Journey: Quilting Parts 1-3

Image
  I’m over just talking about it.  I’m going to sew….even if it’s not Grandma Jeanie’s level & feels like I’m cheating by doing  Big Stitches and Patchy Patchwork i nstead of traditional quilting!   https://shop.shinyhappyworld.com/collections/pieced-quilt-patterns/products/big-stitches-and-patchy-patchwork My sister, Sandy (Sissy), asked that I document my progress step-by-step as she is a novice as well & would one day like to learn.  This is me fulfilling her request the best I can. 😉 *FYI: These will be written informally as instructions to my daughter, sister, and GG's.  There WILL be multiple spelling & grammatical errors in anything ever produced by me.     I decided my first project would be: Small!  I want to be able to finish something I’m proud of to gain momentum so I can move to more complex goal projects.
