Reunited

The sewing machine and I were recently reunited. I'm being serious. It's been since 7th grade since I've touched one, in a class at school & then some projects at my Grandma's.
Recently, my Grandma passed away, I haven't figured out how to blog about that yet but maybe one day I will. Anyway, I've been doing all these hobbies & activites as a "therapy" to keep her in my thoughts & sometimes I feel her right there doing it with me.
 Call me crazy, but it's my kind of peaceful.

These activities so far include making her swedish pancakes, and now, sewing.

So what is this masterpiece I'm working on?

It started three weeks ago, I was talking to my friend who had started cutting fabric for a new "chevron quilt," she had tried talking me into doing it with her and I kept telling her no.

I'm pretty sure any project like scrapbooking or sewing that I've started, is still somewhere in a box from 5+ years ago.

Well, then she talked me into it

Plus, I needed a project, another hobby, and my Grandma was the queen at sewing.

 

I picked my fabric, I spent hours cutting them into 5 1/2 inch squares and not one of them is an actual square. :/

Whatever

I started on the sewing machine on Saturday, and I felt like a boss!

I can't wait to get it done

....In 5 years

ok. not really.

 

The whole time I was doing this, I remembered my Grandma teaching me how to thread a needle, and how to guide the fabric through, just like she taught me in 7th grade.

I'm doing this for me, but I'm finishing it for her

Here's a sneak peek of the layout, more pictures to come!
