Two by Two

Quilt Progress:
I tried to start sewing my quilt by hand, but it just takes too much of the time that I already don't have. That, and not to mention...I cannot sew straight to save my life :] So, as you can see...I broke down and got a sewing machine. It's nothing fancy. As it's name says, it's simple.



It took me a few tries but I finally got it to work for me. I've only ever used my grandmother's almost-ancient (sorry, Gran!) sewing machine, and this one is a little different. I'm too much like my father to worry with directions, so as usual, they got thrown back into the box. And I'm too much like my mother and I was stubborn enough to think all of those tutorial videos showed me anything, so I tried my own way, got too frustrated, and gave in to following suit :] And things went much quicker. In one night, I got all the pieces laid out, matched together, and sewn in pairs. See exhibit B.





I have a couple of four-squares done. But nothing else. I still have to buy batting and fabric for the back. Then I'm moving on to making Justin a quilt (Fred, Brandee...don't tell!).


College Update:
Speaking of time that I already don't have, it looks like I will have even more time this semester. I called to Towson and they said they cannot defer my enrollment from the Spring to the Fall. So I'm not going to Towson this semester. I'm contemplating two alternative...apply to Towson for the Spring 2010 and still take a couple classes at Carroll (even though I have already graduated from there with my AAT) OR apply to Towson for the Spring, but just work this semester. My dad would prefer I stay in school. Justin hasn't said if he has a preference or not. So who knows at this point. I guess I'm on my own to figure it out. Yay :/
