Here is a link to that post: http://adventurousquilter.blogspot.com/2013/06/how-it-all-began.html
My quilting skills have come a long way in that 12 months and so has my stash... and my sewing machine collection! I took my first quilt classes, I've now done 5. I joined the Green Bag Lady Project. I found a favorite fabric shop http://www.woodenspools.com/ and also began buying fabric online oops that's dangerous for the credit card. I joined my first quilt club which is awesome. I made amazing quilting friends through blogging like http://tamichaulk.blogspot.com/ who got me interested in joining the Green Bag Lady Project and http://myplvl.blogspot.com/ with whom I swap fabrics and share experiences as we learn to quilt and blog together and there are many more. I discovered how fun thrift shopping can be and found soooo many great vintage sewing machines.
Here's just a couple of pics to show the year that was:
