I am new here and just started quilting in October. Kinda funny considering I have had a sewing machine but used it only twice and both times my best friend had to drive over to my house and thread the sewing maching for me. So back in September I decided I was going to start quilting. LOL. I went to a quilting club meeting at our local church and fell in love. Made my first quilt ( not this one will post the picture later) in a week. Once I started cutting out fabric I was hooked. I made the top and the bottom and took it to a lady who professionally quilted it. Then my daughter told me you have four grandchildren How are you going to decide who togive it to? When my husband and I went to pick it up, he told me you will be sorry if you don't keep your first quilt. So hence I had to make four more quilts by Christmas. Then my husband told me he felt left out because I was making all the grandkids one and not him. SO I snuck around and made him a wildlife king size quilt as a surprise for Christmas. I will try to post all the pictures tomorrow. So I am so excited to say I am addicted and made 6 quilts, one king size, three full and two twin from Ocotber 5 until Christmas. Hope you like the picture. It is not a real good picture, will post more tomorrow.

You really did fall in love with quilting. You are a real "go-getter"! Will be anxious to see the rest of your pics. Keep up the good work.

calicocat 02-04-2011 04:49 AM

Isn't it sooo amazing. I did not own a piece of material and 6 months after I started quilting I had yard and yards. I made over 30 quilts my first year of quilting and probably that many the next year. I am in my 4th year of quilting and have slowed down....a little. I still put out at least 1 per year.

Keep at it there is a never ending supply of fabric and patterns.

psychonurse 02-04-2011 05:28 AM
