Knitting has always been my passion. It is what keeps me sane and gives me a sense of accomplishment. Lately however, I haven't been that inspired to knit, or spin, or weave. No real reason why, mostly just because I can't make my mind up regarding what projects I want to work on. 

Then it happened. I was introduced to a new craft. 

Quilting. 

It was time to pull out my brand new sewing machine was in the closet collecting dust for the last four years (never even opened!) and to figure out if I could remember how to sew from those home economics classes I took way too many years ago. My friend had me sign up for a mystery quilt project through Prairie Quilt Militia and Love Shack Quilts. The ladies who are a part of this online group are a hoot and very inspiring. My mojo is back.

So off to the fabric store I went. Purchasing some of the material for the Blindfold Me Baby (BMB) quilt and material for a practice baby quilt to get me started. We won't talk about the other trips since to the fabric stores in town, however I will start sharing the stash I have been accumulating in the last few weeks. 

The biggest thing I had to do though, was to make sure that I had a spot for my new found hobby. My yarn has its own room (or really, multiple) in my house and I wanted the quilting to not feel left out. I had a closet that I wasn't really using so decided to clean it out and organize it. Since quilting isn't that portable I knew that I had to have everything close at hand otherwise I would not stay organized.
