One of the goals I made for myself this last year is that I was finally going to learn how to sew. I took a quilting class with a few friends. I made a patch quilt and it turned out pretty good for my first time. I don't have a picture yet, but it is on display in my mom's living room. This is my attempt to make my second quilt with no help. Thanks goodness this photo is very forgiving. I am not sure how one end ended measuring an inch longer than the other. I am sure Rylee or Taya won't notice. The girls have been begging me to make them blankets. They love to cuddle on the couch. So here is one of them. The second one will be coming soon. It isn't quite finished I have yet to learn how to applique. Hopefully Heather will give me a lesson next week. She has been my mentor in sewing. So Christy this picture is for you. I spent about 5 hour sewing tonight so I could post it.
