OK night two, so far so good. I have just attempted my second of thirty days of new things.

Tonight’s was to make a homemade stencil as seen on Quilting Arts TV...Season 1 show 1. I don't think I used the correct interfacing. Will know when it dries tomorrow. I am hoping that it didn't work in a way.. It's very thick. I used the thickest interfacing I had. I think a bit thick. So will have to see what we get tomorrow. I figure most of the first few weeks is going to be fabric alterations. What I mean to say is that I am going to alter the appearance of fabric make it different and useable. I had already started with this bright green and bright pink (I so am not a pink kind of guy) and rusted it. Keep making more because I am going to end up making a quilt with just those two fabrics.

I love the way they are turning out. Once I get the whole blogging with pictures I promise to add to it. So you can see what I am doing. OK so calling it a night. T-shirt quilt was worked on for a while and I got to keep to my schedule. Still have 1 more t-shirt quilt to do after this one and then Chunnel Teddy Bears for the Nieces and on Nephew. Making the Chunnel was a breeze but long process and still don't have it mastered. But this is thirty days of trying new things and perfecting things that I want to be doing over and over again.

Peace be with you
