I got this idea that I wanted the grandchildren to have a lap quilt to cover with when watching tv. I found an awesome pattern for my oldest grandchild from a book I picked up at Hancocks. It used a lot of applique which I did on my embroidery machine. But it was time consuming so I decided that the other ones needed to be simpler to get done by Christmas. I mananged to get them all done just in the nick of time but now I am hooked. Since then I have done 2 twin size, 2 full size and 1 wall quilt. I just can't work fast enough to do all that I want to do and I find my stash is growing in leaps and bounds.
