That's What Friends Are For

| | Comments (4)

If you've read my blog in the past, you might have seen comments from Cop Car, complaining that I have created a MONSTER!!!

It's a quilter's joy to addict someone to quilting. Can you envision us rubbing our hands in glee, plotting each step to drag you to the DARK SIDE??? Well, she's well and truly addicted, and I'm proud to say that I had a hand in it.

Unfortunately, you have to be careful, or your student might turn on you. Cop Car found a quilt store just a mile from her home, and she discovered a quilting software program called "Electric Quilt 5." She's shared with me the ease of designing a quilt, and even importing pictures of the actual fabric you wish to use in your quilt. I stood in awe of her progress, but resisted getting the software, thinking I simply didn't have the time to learn a new program.

It's just amazing what I learn from my friends! I'm fortunate to be a part of the Friday Night Bee. It meets in my home once a month, and the ladies who make up the rest of the bee are the most prodigious quilters I know. We begin each session with Show and Tell, and although there are only eight of us, it can take half an hour to show and discuss new creations, or antique quilt finds, or new books to be shared.
