I used my sewing machine tonight. I got one for my birthday this year, but honestly had been a little afraid to use it. My aunt gave me some material already cut out to quilt with. I think I was worried I would be horrible at it, but so far I have 7 rows of 8 squares done so far. I think I can do two more rows with the material that I have left. I've always wanted to learn how to sew although it always seemed daunting to me. My first quilt may not be perfect, but its a start. :)
