When the quilting instructor saw me and my girlfriend, Lindsay, unpack our machines at the beginning of class, she may have raised her eyebrow. Both of us were plugging in two hand-me-down Kenmores. Mine was my mother’s (who has since moved onto flashier sewing machines with...
I’ve embarked on a new adventure. And it involves using big, expensive rulers and every ounce of my concentration. It’s quilting. And I’m a tiny bit terrified of it. I took a Rotary Cutting class – the pre-requisite for Beginner Quilting – last...
