Default Hello from Alabama

I retired and decided at this late stage in my life to take up quilting (about a month ago). After, I purchased a sewing machine, I had to learn how to operate it. I started out watching videos on Youtube and like the ones from the Mo Quilting Co. My first project were those kitchen towels attached to potholders.

Not exactly a quilt, but it is my first. Then I decided to make a lap quilt, but I did not cut the squares. I got those on ebay all ready cut, but I did cut the binding. I machine quilted this one. [ATTACH=CONFIG]383974[/ATTACH]
I did the sew in the ditch quilting, so it is just big squares on the back. Attempting another lap quilt, but I cut the squares. Each time I do something a bit harder. Eventually, I will get there.

Also, Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it. And Happy Day to those who do not.
