Sew what?

Okay, about two or three years ago, my mother-in-law gave me a sewing machine for Christmas. I appreciated the gift, but I don't sew. I didn't even know how to thread the machine. I tried to muster up some enthusiasm, but I don't know how believable I was. (Unfortunately, lying is not one of my considerable talents.)

My sewing machine has been collecting dust for a long time. But yesterday, I pulled it out. One of my friends is an awesome seamstress! She can make just about anything! She even has a super duper fancy embroidery machine. She can do it all. I was hanging out with her yesterday, and she somehow managed to talk me into sewing a rag quilt.

I'm still not sure how it happened, but it's AWESOME!! I am almost done. I even have enough extra squares I may be able to make a matching pillow or two!

I'll post pictures when I get finished. Keep your fingers crossed that it comes out as well as I hope!

PS It's all sorts of sock monkey fabrics! It's about the cutest thing I've ever seen!
