Obsession

I am so sorry that it has taken me this many years to reach my goal of learning to quilt.

It is quickly becoming an obsession. I haven't made it to bed before 1 a.m. for several days and I just now had to hide my thread so that I can get ready to begin my day by running an errand and going to work.

Is my quilt going to be "show worthy?" No. Do I care? No.

This first one is a sampler. I am using it as a chance to try different things as I hand quilt. Some areas I am very pleased with my stitches. Other areas I have to look at and think - "it is my very first quilt."

It is very relaxing and I love seeing how the quilt changes with each stitch.
