I made a quilt! My very first one! I am so happy with how it came out and already have another similar top pieced for another one. In fact, I've already been to the quilt shop to buy fabric for
another quilt. Um....I guess this is a little addicting, but oh so much fun. I was so nervous about the actual quilting part, but it was a breeze especially when you aren't a perfectionist about it. I really like a handmade quilt to look, well, handmade. Little errors really do add to its charm and beauty. This is for a friend's new baby. I sure hope she likes it.
I made a quilt for my daughter's preschool class live auction in December. I was feeling very generous when I offered to make it since it's our last year at the school (sniff, sniff). I knew I would be be rather "control freaky" about the whole thing. So sure enough, I ended up doing the entire thing except the rather tedious task of printing all the images. I was also lucky enough to have the quilting donated by a local quilt shop; what a luxury...wow, I could get used to that!! As much as I really loved making the quilt, I happily saw it go home with a grateful winner (a friend so I can visit it if I want). Now, to fill my own house with handmade quilts. It's a goal for the new year, but first some new clothes for myself that I've been working on.
