Material obsession by Sarah Fielke and Kathy Doughty was the first book I saw in borders many years ago. This book pushed me to want to learn to sew.
I then purchased my sewing machine a few months later.
It was my inspiration in wanting to learn the art of quilting.
I am finding I am becoming obsessed with fabric & moda charm packs!
A few of my close family friends (like sisters & aunts) and I have been having sewing days once a month. I am fortunate as they are experienced sewers & quilters.
I am still learning and currently onto my second baby quilt. I do hope to make myself a quilt from this book next, queen size!

I'll post some pics of my round robin quilt...the centre I made for it was inspired by an applique flower from this book. I love Sarah's work, particularly the hand quilting technique. x
