Evolution of a quilter

What has started as a dutiful daughter-in-law starting a new hobby with her mother-in-law evolved into a woman with a new hobby and a knack for following directions. With that knack, I made some pretty cool quilts that other people designed.

Enter modern quilter (that, I hope, would be me). A friend of mine took it upon herself to get the paperwork needed to enter the Rocky River Nature Center's annual quilt show. I decided, what the heck skinny neck? I'm gonna do it. But I didn't want to enter a quilt where I'm following someone else's design. I've been to this quilt show before, and there are some amazing pieces of work that I couldn't help but notice are designed by the quilter (most of the time). This is not something one goes into with a knack for following someone else's directions.

So, for the first time (but definitely not the last, I think I caught a creative bug of some sort), I'm going to make a quilt that is 100% my own. My design, my work. Pictures soon to come. Wish me luck.
