My almost finished quilt top



Tonight was the last night for the quilting classes that I've been taking.  We had 5 classes and tonight we finished sewing together the blocks and borders.  I was a bit behind so didn't get my outer border done - will have to finish that on my own!  There were 3 of us taking the class and we all ended our last class at different stages.  It was such fun and I met 3 wonderful women and learned so much!




Nancy working with gorgeous fabric
Suzanne was our hero - she finished her's tonight!
Loretta - our fearless leader!

Till next time .......will leave the sewing on my dining room table so that I am encouraged to finish it!

  4. Boy, you would have enjoyed looking at the hundreds of quilts this weekend! I don't know, maybe there were a thousand. It looks like so much work to me, but must be a very satisfying accomplishment. Your quilt is beautiful! It's almost done!

  5. OK...that looks like a fun way to take a quilting class. But between work, my little boys and weddings...I think i will have to wait for Fall. I actually would like to learn to knit first...but we'll see.
    Oh, I loved that bowl from your mother on your last post. I do that too..It's fun to share those memories.
