While taking a break from removing one layer of wallpaper and three layers of wallpaper backing, I looked at a couple of pillows on my bed and the thought ran across my mind that I wanted to/could make new pillow coverings. Unfortunately, I don't own a sewing machine, but thinking of purchasing one and trying my luck at sewing. I would also love to make a quilt. Have been wanting to make one for a very long time, but it all looks so complicated. Would love to hear from other quilters with points for "beginner quilters". Thanks Bargain Babe for your interesting tips. I say go for making that quilt. You can do it. What a coincidence!

I'm so glad to hear Madison is a sewer. I would love to make a quilt or two myself, but when I looked into it I couldn't believe how much detailed work it required. Sigh. Maybe one bday.

Grandma's gene lives on in Madison who has made two beautiful quilts by the age of 11! I think Grandma’s trick was to buy it, take it apart, make the pattern, sew it back up and then return it!
