My son asked me (at last year's Christmas gathering) to make homemade stockings for his family. Of course I said yes. I had a whole year to make them. It is now the second week of December and I still need to make one more. I have three completed, they were the easier ones, my son picked a lone star pattern in neon colors, plus black. What?? For Christmas? It won't match the others. The lone star has been the only quilt project I gave up on.
I was fairly new at quilting and had taken a one day class at our local guild. But I just couldn't get the star to go together without a hump in the center. I ripped it out, three times, still a hump and now the fabric is stretched. and so I put it in the donation bin at the guild.
That was my Georgia guild. We had numerous teachers in the years I lived there. And I learned so much. My favorite teacher hands down is Bonnie Hunter. I love scrap quilts. Love, love, love. I mostly make scrap quilts. And mostly Bonnie Hunter quilts.
When I moved to Ohio I tried out the local guild, and to be honest, they were quite snobby. After a couple visits I never went back. Bye bye snobby ladies. I do participate in a sewing/quilting group. We are not a guild, there's no dues or officers. Just nice ladies, like myself, who have a meeting once a month and have an informal sew in the next two days.
