:-) Yes, it is... :-)

I will put up a web page with my progress later.

One more thing, so far my 3 kitties have NOT discovered my new thing.. . Last week when AG and I were trying to cast on, the cats at the office were way too interested... Trouble will probably discover this shortly. When he does, it will be funny...

I have a large print of a Baltimore Album Quilt in my family room. I love it.

Never learned to quilt but have saved the scraps of everything I ever sewed for my kids and plan someday, somehow to quilt them all together.

Start a small baby quilt for one, is the advice I give to those just beginning to quilt, keep to simple patches like 4 or 9 patches and geometrics to start. A shoofly is a good beginner patch. Use low loft batting and good quilting thread. You need a quilters hoop too. Safety pins to hold the layers together.

I quilted for about 10 years. Last year I decided to quit because I hadn't really done anything for a couple of years. So I gave away all of my fabric. I did keep the cutting mats, rulers, rotary cutters, etc. I still sew though, just house stuff like decorative pillows, etc.

Don't forget to post your pics when you get home tonight! :)

'Motivated Quilters'...
I don't see any around here...

Looks like shoofly would work well. My "sewing room" is starting to bust out it's door and really needs to be attacked. Sounds like a good time to start cutting scraps into squares.

Thanks so much for the suggestions. As soon as I finish my 4 set of drapes and finish knitting my afghan, I'll get right on it. Dang! So many projects and so little time.
