That is beautiful! I don't think I'd even let you into the same room with my first one.

If making a quilt like this the first time out doesn't make a person fall in love with quilting nothing will! This is absolutely beautiful and so is your quilt case :)

So my husband bought me the top of the line "Pfaff" sewing machine, (not knowing if I would even like sewing or not. Lucky for him and me, I did). My mom and I had been doing estate sales and I found a picture of a quilt that I knew I had to make. My mom thought I should start with something simpler, so I wouldn't get discouraged. But, I was determined. Anyways, here it is. I'm very pleased how it turned out. Debbie Giesler did the quilting.



You must have inherited your mom's quilting genes and eye for color blending. This is just the beginning for a great quilting career. Your DH must have had faith in you and your abilities to have purchased you such a great machine to start with. Love it ! :thumbup:

Wow that is beautiful. I love the colors and the quilting is gorgeous.
Does Debbie take quilts from anyone? Looking for someone to quilt a king top for me. My first..
