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.
