I dont remember the year but it was back when liquid embroidery pens were popular.
I cut out squares and copied color book pictures on them then colored them with pens.
Then the big mistake happened when I used an old wool army blanket for batting. It shrunk the first time it was washed and ruined the quilt.
I did not try quilting again till about 3 yrs ago when my daughter introduced me to a small group of quilters who meet once a month.
Ive been hooked ever since. I have make about 25 or more quilts all small lap quilts except for 2 twin size.
I have learned so much from making small quilts that I recommend that as a great way to learn before taking on larger ones.
