Thank you for the compliment. That was 3 years ago. I was staying with my sister in Ithaca, NY and never sewed before. She taught me to sew that year and my first project was to make matching Christmas PJ's for my 3 grandsons for Christmas out of flannel. Then I made them each a polar fleece blanket and finally I made the quilt for my DS and DDIL for that same Christmas. It was a memory quilt with pictures of all of us having fun and matched the colors in their bedroom, queen size too! I am a brave soul. I machine quilted the middle and hand quilted a design of flowers and leaves on the border to match the print on one of the fabrics in the quilt. They loved it. I have been quilting ever since.
Just thought you might like to hear the story.
