The First Rows

Today, I hit a milestone in my quilt top. I reached the point of sewing my blocks together, creating my very first rows. Its a wonderful feeling, knowing that all the little things are finally coming together. Each step is beginning to make more sense, the further into the process I learn. Each step is also becoming easier.

Like with most things, repetition makes anything easier. The first time you do something, it may make you feel a little uncomfortable or unsure. But after the second, third, or even fourth time, you complete that same step, you begin to have more confidence in yourself. And that's exactly what has begun to happen to me. I feel more and more confident every time I set down at the sewing machine. And I've only been sewing for a week! I assure you if I can do it, anyone can. I've learned like most things in life, with a little motivation and dedication, I can achieve anything.
