Hello all. I have only been quilting since taking a four week course on Mondays in October and had just learned how to use a sewing machine the month prior. To date, including the quilt made from the class, I have completed six quilts: all are lap quilts, two for my folks for the Holidays, two for my sister-in-law and brother-in-law, also for the Holidays and one for a fundraiser in March that I still need to back and bind. I have starting cuting and sewing another for a Red Cross fundraiser and have four or five more being planned with fabric already purchased. Guess I'm hooked. Attached are some examples of the quilts.
