Doodle La

 

On rare occasions I sew just for me. Often times I'm too busy to complete a project, but that doesn't mean I won't start one. I can't tell you how many half finished projects I have hiding in boxes and cupboards waiting for me to get to them. When I happen to spy one somewhere I'll often say to myself, "When the kids are older I'll have time to finish that up!" Who knows if that's true, but it's what I tell myself. Sort of like when I say to myself that I'll sleep when I'm old. 

My cute little quilted wall hanging.

One thing I've always admired about many of the bloggers I read is their skill at making gorgeous quilts. I've never been much of quilter, and frankly it's quite intimidating to see these magnificent pieces of fabric art. The intimidation doesn't stop me from trying, but I like to start simple.
