My first quilt was a baby quilt in 1967 for our first son. It was a kit of baby animals that I embroidered beautifully. I set it together with yellow as we did not know whether babies were boys or girls until they popped out. The quilt is still around-it hangs on the wall of the room in our son's house we occupy when we visit (very frequently). Though I see the flaws I smile because they are so proud of it. Here we are 45 years later and I quilt most every day. This year I am making queen size quilts for two grandsons graduating from high school. Still love to quilt and love to learn new things. The quilts I am making for the boys are quite contemporary but I like the ideas I am using.
