Practice makes perfect.

      The only way to become good at something is to practice, practice, practice. I have a best friend who is very creative and artistic. She has worked very hard at everything she creates. I have always been envious of her skills. She is the one who taught me how to sew. Its because of her that I found something I enjoy.She inspires me to try new creative things. I love that we can share with each other different tools, and tips.

 Ever since I made that first purse I was sold. I love sewing. Its the only hobby I found that I enjoy. Its is something that I want for my future. I love creating things from fabric and giving those creations away to people. Quilting is probably my favorite. People will say things like wow that's really good! Or I cant believe you made that! That makes me feel good about what I do even though I still consider myself a beginner. I don't have perfect lines and stitches, but practice makes perfect, right?
 I made the quilt that's above for my sister. This is probably still my favorite quilt that I've done. I made it a few years ago. 
After I went back to school I needed a pencil case to stay organized so I whipped up this cute pouch. I love the fabric it seems perfect for school.
I turned this fabric into a skirt. After I finished it, I put it on and it was a little too short. So I've been think of a way to lengthen it so I can wear it.
This is the quilt and pillow I made for myself. My boyfriend would watch me as I would work on it, and when it was finished he was amazed that I could simply create something like this. He is very supportive of my decision to go back to school and if it weren't for him I wouldn't have. With him, I continue to grow and practice. Hes my rock. With him, I am a happy soul.

  1. I love your creations. I love how in love you are. And i love that we have grown in so many ways through the years! Love you LaVerne. Ps about the skirt, why not add a layer of tool*(i think thats what it is) or just pick a solid color print that matches and add a second layer?
