My First Quilt

In the process of getting some girly girl time, I have been roped into a blog party!  We girls like to talk about our firsts!  This quilt sampler was my first!  A big shout out to Gay K who walked me through this from start of  Jan 06 until finish April 07.  Gay is still my friend, aren't you, Gay?!  Hello, Gay!  Oh, that's right!  Gay is on a quilting cruise to Alaska presently and I am NOT speaking to her!  Just kidding!  Come home, Gay!  I call this quilt, School Girl Sampler.  I learned that I never, ever want to piece another lover's knot, piecing curves is very difficult on a friendship!  Luckily, with quilting friends, mending is always possible!  As I am sure Gay will attest to as soon as she returns!  Celebrating this first and all the rest!

  4. I'm a little jealous. I want to do a tumbling blocks project, and I just haven't gotten to one yet. And, I agree with the comment above. Curves on your first quilt! Way to hit the ground running :-)
