Merry Christmas Everyone!
I have been an avid reader of this forum for quite a long time, but have never posted before. After seeing so many of your beautiful quilts, I became painfully aware of not having made photos of any of mine. So this year, I made my first photo of what is my 13th quilt.

I still consider myself a novice and use a beginners basic sewing machine. I don't have the patience for hand quilting, but try to quilt on my machine. It's not great, but still looks nice. I am getting better and have 4 quilts planned for this year (this might be overly optimistic). BTW, hubby is buying me a new sewing machine for Christmas! I get to pick it out . How cool is that?

Anyway, here is a photo of my bargello. Hope you enjoy.

Welcome!

Your bargello is beautiful. My wife and I work together, and I usually pick fabric and patterns, because I do the cutting. But, she has decided we have to do a bargello. I hope ours turns out as great as yours.

Merry Christmas!

Thanks Darren,
I wanted to do one for quite some time, but was more than a little intimidated. Once started, it turned out to be one of the easiest!

Greetings from Northern CA. Hate to tell you: You are not a novice when you turn out quilts like that. Nicely done.
