My First Quilt

Not my very first, but the first one all by myself. My friend, HobbyMommy, gave me some quilting lessons last Christmas. Actually, she is the one who started me onto the hobby of sewing. My mom sewed while I was growing up but I never truely appreciated the talent until I gave it a try. After several months of fighting with an old machine that was given to me, my husband got me a new machine for Mother's Day and that is where the fun began!



I started this quilt way back around Mother's Day and finished it right before Christmas. I made it for my daughter and everyday the question came " Mommy are you done with my blanket yet". No, it takes time I told her. Well, the time has come and Christmas morning she opened up her blanket and it was priceless.





I also made some matching pillows with the scraps.
