    As a general rule, quilters always enjoy seeing other people's quilts; beside, D-D, I wanted to make you smile again!
    Thanks again to everyone for sharing your beautiful quilts, .... maybe...just maybe, there are more out there???

    I think FrustratedQuilter needs to change her name to "accomplished quilter" or at the very least "prolific quilter". Those were some lovely quilts!!

    I might have a couple quilts I haven't posted before...

    The first two pictures are of my very first quilt.

    3rd picture is a quilt I made for DH...it is on our bed right now. We decided a while back we like "his and hers" quilts instead of one big quilt...I think it is because we have 2 dogs that sleep with us and when they are on top of one quilt neither of us gets covered up much.

    4th picture is a lap quilt I made for my mom when she was diagnosed with cancer a couple years back (in remission now).

    5th is a quilt I made for my older sister...all three sisters got quilts, but I forgot to get pictures of the other two and like QNSs friends/family they can't seem to remember to take a picture and send it to me.

    Last is a picture of the dogs that sleep in our bed...both over 80lbs. Sisters, Beatrice and Ginger.

    I have been quilting for the last 15 years taught myself to begin with. But I can not FMQ I send them out to be quilted. I took a voluntary layoff after 23yrs at the same job about 2 1/2 years ago so some stay flimsy for a long time. I have close to 20 UFO' s. I probably make 4-6 quilts a year some are charity quilts for the guild I belong too.

    But those UFO's arenot stopping me from joining in!!!!! I just need to decide what fabric to use

    QNS ... I'll share a few more ...

    And I realized I lied!! This one is still here. Although when I said I didn't have a quilt, I was more or less responding to the "whats on your bed" portion. This is hardly enough to cover my pillow ...

    And a close up to show size ..

    And here is the first quilt I ever made. A baby quilt for my besties daughter. It was also my first FMQ ... I did some rather "juvenile" stars, circles and squares to mimic the shapes in the fabrics.

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]433021[/ATTACH]

    and YES QuiltE ... I MITERED the striped corner squares!!
