Default Newbie stuff

This is is the first quilt I ever made back in 2008. After my mother passed away I realized my grandchildren would not be getting homemade quilts like the older ones had received. I decided I better figure out how to make them. This lap quilt is made from all of her homemade dresses and aprons. I cut them all into 6 inch squares and had enough for myself and my two sisters each a small quilt. That got me hooked and I'm still trying to figure it all out. I'm learning, but it's a slow process. Here are a few I've made. I love baby quilts and receiving blankets and purses and bags. Next is to learn my new to me mid arm machine.

Great projects. I see you have a Grace frame. My 1st one was a Grace Pro 10ft. I ended up beefing up the poles with conduit over them as I kept advancing my quilts too tightly so bowed them. Its a great frame to start out with.

Keep up the good work.
