What to do??

I'm not a crafty person, as most of you know. However, I would like to be somewhat crafty, but not so crafty that I'm making hangers out of paperclips or using old shampoo bottles and decorating them for future use - not that I've seen anyone do either of these things...but I think you catch my drift.

What I really want to do is learn to sew, and make a cute blanket for Lexus' room, or...yeah...this is where my creativity ends. Here are some fabrics that I bought at Gardner Village. Any ideas what I could do with them??

Make a patch quilt with all of those pieces of fabric! It is an easy process - a good one for your first real sewing experience!

Really cute material...there are two things you can do a rag quilt or if you want to piece it have you ever heard of the pattern around the world? I'll send you an example and they're pretty easy...especially the rag quilt.

So, I'm not a very ambitious seamstress (give me embroidery or crocheting any day), but you could do a patchwork wall hanging with matching throw pillows. It would be a good starting point & not too overwhelming. My sil, Kelli, has done them & they are really cute. I love the fabric; so cute!
