Major Quilt Progress

I got a call last night that the quilt is done! So after work today we are going on a field trip to pick it up. Hopefully this will be my initiation into the quilting world--I've noticed that established crafty ladies (usually older ladies) are really unwelcoming to newer crafty ladies (usually younger, like me) until you've sort of "proven" that you're not a dilettante. It took me months at the knitting store for the knitting ladies to accept me, and I noticed that the quilting ladies I've encountered during this process have a little of the same attitude.


Overall, though, the quilt ladies been more welcoming than the knitting ladies. Maybe it helps that I came in with a completed quilt top, so they don't think I'm completely clueless.

Anyway, I'm excited to see it turned into a real quilt!

I agree. Everyone wants you to prove yourself. What happened to welcoming newbies with open arms?

Excited to see your quilt! Good luck!
