Hello all. I have been sewing for the past 13 hours, and I’m actually quite exhausted. Forgive my brevity. Here’s what I learned today:
1) Terry Atkinson is not only an amazing writer and designer; she is also a lot of fun and very supportive. Every time I started a new section of the quilt, she came over to offer kind words of encouragement. She is really upbeat.
2) I love sampler quilts. A sampler quilt is a quilt that has what seems like no rhyme or reason to it. It’s a bunch of different patterns that all mix together to make one distinct quilt.
3) I am out of place. I feel somewhat like an animal in a zoo. People are looking at me wide-eyed wondering what a 20-something girl is doing at a quilting convention. I am looking wide-eyed back at them praying fervently that my years in from of the sewing machine don’t turn me into the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
4) Quilters are competitive. I already knew that, but these times remind me. Some woman told me she hated me. Twice. Why? Because I was ahead of her.
5) Two vultures hung out at the door this morning while we quilted: Buford and Beulah.
Perfect day, huh?
