The red in number 10 is calling my name, but you probably already knew that, didn't you?

There are so many techniques I'd love to learn more of, but right now on the path of learning embellishment techniques for crazy quilting. In fact, this past weekend I attended an estate sale and found a lovely charm bracelet and faux pearl necklace to use on a pincushion I'm planning to do.

[Jeannie]

I love #10. I really want to learn how to paint. I've bought some supplies, now I need to find the courage to play. That sounds silly, doesn't it?LOL!

[Sarah]

Yay, countdown to retirement!
Fabric 7 is fantastic.
I would like to build my quilting pattern drafting skills, particularly working out repeatable designs to use in open spaces of blocks.

[Isabelle]

I love fabrics # 9 and 6 :)

I'd like to learn crazy quilting.

Congratulations to Wanda on winning the first round! :)

[carmel]

[Barbara B]

You have not made this easy as it is always hard to choose just one of your fabrics. So, I guess I'll have to choose #3.
As to learning a new technique, well I can't help you there. The new techniques I would love to learn have nothing to do with sewing or quilting.....just being honest.

[Marcia]

#3 is grabbing me today as looks like the green of our grass under a blue sky. I want to learn to machine quilt. mlwright29 (at) hotmail (dot) com

Congratulations to Wanda.

Congrats as your countdown continues. I still like #3 (and all the others).

I have never made a reversible binding, but I'm sure you could show me how!!!

Hope you love retirement as much as I do!
