Saturday

Greetings from sunny, snowy, Mammoth California!

It's was an early morning, leaving the house at 4am this morning. As soon as the sun came up I started working on these Chicopee hexies!

It's been a good day already, now I'm off to hit some thrift stores, happy Saturday!

WIP Wednesday

Its my first WIP Wednesday! I'm so excited! 
It's such a great reminder to get out things that I haven't worked on in far too long. It's also a perfect distraction from homework!

This quilt has been waiting for so long to be bound. Its happening right after this!

Some freshly pressed half rectangle triangles all ready to be trimmed.

And lastly, some 4 inch squares were just cut to be HSTs!

I just love those colors!

I'm linking up with Freshly Pieced for WIP Wednesday!

Hey there!

My name is Julie! 
I’m very new to using Flickr and Blogger, but I have been following stalking so many really amazing blogs, I thought I should create my own!
A little bit about me, I'm a 16 year old Junior in high school living in Southern California. I live with my parents, my brother and the two cutest puppies you've ever seen.

I like trees...

And music...

And making yummy food...

And fabric... (who doesn't?!)

And sewing!

I love trying new things, and in Spring of 2012, I decided I wanted to make a quilt. I honestly have no idea where that came from considering I had next to no sewing experience. I came across Jeni's A M A Z I N G blog and fell in love. The next day I went to Joann's and got everything I needed and called up my Grandma to ask if I could borrow her sewing machine. It was so fun and exciting! (Even on my grandma's ancient machine that wouldn't even allow me to sew with a 1/4 in seam allowance) Unfortunately I should have  s l o w e d  down and started with something easier. I'm sorry to say that that quilt is now sitting on top of my bookshelf, butchered beyond repair. I made so many silly mistakes I know it would be so time consuming to make them right and finish it. Maybe someday! 

After that I was extremely discouraged until November, when I broke down and got my very own sewing machine, my Singer Confidence Quilter! I love it so much and since then I have completed many projects and started 8 quilts. I have this awful habit of not finishing things before starting something else. I'm working on it, okay!

I can't wait to share all my past and future projects!
Thanks for reading!
