New journey

I am starting a new venture/journey that I'm very excited about. My great grandmother was a quilter and she did all her quilting by hand. Quilting is not something that I have been taught how to do. But at this moment I am making a baby quilt for a close friend of mine and am teaching myself how to make it without any patterns. I am making it by what I see in my head. 

I am going to turn this into a side business and will not only make quilts but will make anything that is quiltable! 

I have been getting all kinds of idea's from Pinterest on all the stuff that I could possibly quilt and am going to learn as I go on making all the possible stuff that I could do with quilting. What better way to make extra money by doing something that I know I will enjoy like my great grandmother. We lost my great grandma 12 years ago next week just 2 weeks after her 98th birthday. But just a few weeks before her birthday I sat down and watched her work her magic on piecing granny squares together for a quilt. As I sat there and watched her I knew then that I wanted to learn how to quilt and am now just getting the courage to do it!

I hope that my grandmother will be sitting next to me in spirit guiding me as I learn to do this on my own. Here is a picture of what I have done so far tonight on this baby quilt for my friends baby.
