Always to remember to fall asleep with a dream, and wake up with a purpose!!" - Sarah Lamb, Principal Ballet Dancer - Royal Ballet.
I need to start off this post by saying this quilt pattern design has been on my mind for years and is very close to my heart. When I was growing up, I trained to become a Professional Ballet dancer. When I was 13 years old, I auditioned and was accepted into a Professional Ballet School! This meant I had the opportunity to train 6 to 7 days a week and was given school credits so I was able to go half-day to school - half-day dance... every day!!! I learned so much about dreams, goals and determination through that period of my life. I went on to become a professional Ballet Teacher and ran my own dance studio for a decade before having children and making the decision to stay home and raise them. Throughout all those years of training and then later teaching, I always designed and sewed dance costumes for myself and later for many of my students. I have drawn and redrawn this pattern many times over the years and I finally decided it was time to make this pattern a reality!
