How I did it: While on a business trip to Phoenix, a group of cor-workers were taking a day trip to the Grand Canyon during one of our off days. I had planned to go to a museum and was inviting this co-worker when she told me what she and the others were going to do. I could not let this opportunity pass up, who knows if i'd ever make it this way again. I was so glad i went. It is more beautiful and breathtaking than one can imagine. We made several st… Read how I did it…
I’ve learned to make the top part – learning the lingo, putting the pieces together, etc. Now i still have to learn how to make what they call the sandwich part of it which is putting together the top (the pretty designed part), the batting and the back (usually one big piece of fabric). And then learn how to do the stitching part or what is the quilting.
I’ve made one quilt top and working on my second. Many ladies just make lots of quilt tops and when they need a gift they will have someone else do the quilting part. Usually someone who has the big industrial size machines. i’d like to know how to do it and make a decision about that part after i’ve at least tried it. my goal is to make a quilt for each of my children and one each for my nieces (don’t have any nephews) and for each of my sisters (only two).
i had thought i would wait until i retired to do learn to do this, but so many sick people at work lately (cancer, etc.) that it made me realize why wait – what if for some reason i never get to retire and i never got to do this – SO
Since my name is Aurora and people are constantly saying “oh like the Aurora borealis” whenever they learn my name, i would really like to see this. Plus i’ve heard it’s absolutely fabulous. i’ve received postcards featuring this but i’m sure it does not compare to the real thing.
