I have never blogged before

This is my first time blogging...as you can tell. I've been looking at peoples pages on here so i thought i might get one!! I started sewing my sophomore year in high school. i started out sewing pillows in my FACS class (home ec). Then my junior year i took a class called Clothing and Textiles were all we did was sew. My first project was a strapless dress that had boning... my teacher thought i was pretty brave for taking on such a project for me just sewing pillows before i'll post a picture of my dress later. Then this trend went threw the school of having a tie purse... I've made SSSOOO many of though i think i could make them with my eyes closed lol. My senior year i took the rest of the Clothing and Textile classes... my teacher said that i was the second person to take all four. I took 2 of the classes as regular classes with other students in them, the other 2 i took indepent study while she taught another class while i worked. My senior year i decided for my first project to make me a quilt...and thats where i learned that i LOVED quilting. This is my quilt...and me... i took my senior pictures with it!!! Then Christmas was coming up and there are many little kids on my dads side of the family so i decided to make all of them fleece hoodies... i think i made 10 total... i accidentally made hole in one with the seam ripper and i could not hide the hole so i had to restart...i was so sad :(. But all of the kids loved the hoodies so i was very happy!! Then in my last term of the class my cousin on my moms side became pregnant so for a baby shower gift i made a quilt for her Yes its upside down lol... but this is the quilt!! then it was around prom time... and i wanted to make my prom dress and i found one that i LOVED but my mom refused to pay $600 for a dress that i would wear once... so i decided to make my prom dress... i searched patterns and tried to combine 2 patterns and this it was it came out as Me in my dress...i beaded all toughs beads...it took forever.. This is my dress on my dress form that i got for Christmas last year...her name is Maureen.

Then July of last year i made my best friend manda a quilt for her birthday
