Beginner Quilting Class Progress

This will be all the progress for a while, the owner of the shop that was teaching this class postponed our last class then never rescheduled it. She wont return my calls anymore so I have just set it aside hoping to maybe get some help at another quilt shop that has been much more friendly and offered to help as soon as I can make it down there (without the kids at my feet...lol)
Working on Pinwheel Blocks Week 1 "HomeWork"
More Progress, learning new things in class Week 2
Getting there, slowly but surely!
Pinned up! Week 4

Ready to Quilt ( with little feet that just wont go away while I take the photo!!!)The family "ham"

1st & 2nd Quilts

1st Ever Quilt, was for my husband for his "Welcome Home" after being deployed. He loves it so much he wont use it. Finished November 2006
2nd Quilt ~ 1st one without any help. Just the top is done right now. I finished the center part the day after Christmas 2006 and my grandmother who has inspired me to quilt passed away within hours of me finishing. It was a gift for my mother and she wanted a lap quilt, not a wall hanging so I had to add to the top and bottom all on my own. Took me nearly a year after she passed to sit down and want to quilt. Quilting makes me feel closer to her and the more I quilt the more I get hooked on it, just wish I had more time to sit and sew.
