Here I am jumping in with both feet, and hopeful that I will actually be able to accomplish 31 consecutive days of writing about a topic I truly love - the art of sewing. I thought about just focusing on quilting, but while I do love quilting, I also do a lot of other sewing, which is also fun to talk about! So my goal is to show you every day what kind of stitching I am doing. It might be hand quilting, or sewing a zipper in a dress, or hemming a pair of pants. Should be fun, right? Stick around, you might learn a thing or two, and I may just learn something, too!

I think I'm always learning something new, every new project has it's own challenges, and the process of overcoming those obstacles is one of the things I really enjoy about quilting, and sewing. I am specifically working on completing a couple of quilts for other people, so I will also be updating on my progress on those projects. One is a Grandmother's Flower Garden Quilt that I am hand quilting, and the other is a Dresden Plate that I am finishing up the piecing of. So as you see, there is no lack of material to write about, I just have to be consistent and do the work!

Thanks for joining me here, and I hope you enjoy keeping up with me, as I am sure I am going to enjoy following the rest of the bloggers who are doing this. Here's the little rabbit trail of how I ended up challenging myself to this commitment - I am on an Etsy team (Quiltsy) and we decided to advertise on a blog to see if we could increase sales for our team members. We decided to advertise on The Inspired Room, and I started reading her blog and love it! Next thing you know I'm reading about this fun 31 days series, thinking that maybe I should try it. Well, I just about talked myself out of it, but decided tonight that I might just go ahead and give it a try.

Wish me luck!
