I'm joining the already large quilting community on the Internet! A place to show things I've already made, what I'm working on currently, and things I've found inspiring.

Is it the weekend yet?
This is a quilt that I made for a friend. I gave it to her for her baby shower last weekend. I'm still working on some other projects for the nursery! I can't seem to get the other pictures to flip around, even though I saved them the correct way. They are of a Valentine's Day wall hanging that I finished tonight. I got it on sale for $1.99 for the panel! I don't have a lot of red and pink decorations, so I'm glad to hang it up for February 14th!
My Grams was an avid quilter and once she saw that I was interested, she taught me everything she knew! I love that quilting helps me nurture my creative, comtemplative side and teaches me patience. I learn something new on every project I undertake. I look back at some of my first quilts and cringe at how big the stitches are, etc. But I also love the obvious truth that I've gotten so much better as I go. There are some things I'm not great at (applique, curved seams, etc) but lucky for me, I LOVE practicing!
