This is the last post for my Vox blog. I won't delete the account for two reasons. 1) I don't want to see Amanda around Vox and 2) I still want to be able to read/comment on other Vox blogs.
This blog is really kind of pointless anymore. The community I was a part of has kind of dissolved (at least where I'm concerned), and any "real" writing I do is over at www.mandikaye.com.
It's been a fun year, but it's definitely time to say goodbye. I'll still pop in to read the happenings in my neighborhood.
Goodbye, Vox!
This is the funniest, most pointless website I've seen in my life.
It's going really well! Here's where I'm sewing:
It's a pretty sweet setup. I'm not actually using the fiberglass table part yet. I won't need it until I go to sew all the rows together.
Here's my first block (and DAMN did I do a good job! :) I'm impressed with my corners!):
And that one corner that looks a little off...well...it's my first block! Give me a break, people! :)
And here are my first two completed rows. Seriously, this is turning out to look way better than I expected!
No, the rows aren't sewn together yet. But that's 10 blocks of 9 squares each. That's 90 squares I've sewn together! Wow!
My camera came tonight! Woohoo!!!! Here are the first pictures I took with it:
Isn't she gorgeous?
So theoretically, my "new" (used, but new to me) sewing machine is going to be delivered tomorrow. Yay! So tonight I spent some time "designing" the 9 patch quilt I'm going to make.
What do you think?
I'm going to add another row in the center, both horizontally and vertically. I just ran out of wall space!
