I always wanted to learn to make quilts, but I can't sew. My mom used to try to teach me to sew every so often. It would end with her in tears and me frustrated and aggravated and giving up. About 5 or 6 years ago I decided I would teach myself to sew. Now if I haven't ever mentioned it before, I have the most amazing husband! He supports me in whatever crazy scheme I come up with next. So when I decided I wanted to sew, we trotted off to the store and bought a sewing machine. Since I have this "all-or-nothing" type personality, within several weeks I not only had the sewing machine, but about 30 patterns and lots of fabric and stuff to go with it. Now remember - I haven't ever sewn a thing! So what did I decide was going to be my first project? Not something simple like a pillow. No, I decided to make a teddy bear for my first granddaughter. I did get it done. But it looked like a giant mouse. Oh well, she was a baby and didn't know the difference. LOL!! So on to the quilt.....no, it's not a "real" quilt. It's a card. I made this card for the Use it Tuesday Challenge. The challenge was to make a card using red, yellow, or orange. I got into my scrap stash and found I had all three colors - so a quilt it is!
