My First Quilting Project

This was my first attempt at quilting. Unfortunately I didn't date this project, but I think I did this project back in 2004. I thought it came out great, and I felt so good about accomplishing this project that I decided I was now officially "a Quilter!" I have to say that there were many bumps along the way with this project. I remember having a VERY hard time putting the stars together. I had to call my mother-in-law for help. LOL I still have lots of questions and a long way to go, but this project helped me learn the basics.

(sorry for the ugly wallpaper, we haven't redone that room yet)



Pillowcase Poster

As a Relief Society we're going to be participating in Bernina's Million Pillowcase Challenge. We will be making pillowcases and donating them to charity. This is the poster I made to encourage participation. I had some help from a friend to make the letters. (Thanks Lillian!) I think it came out pretty awesome if I do say so myself! (And yes, I did sew a mini-pillowcase just for the poster)

Second Seminary Bulletin Board

The next year we studied the Book of Mormon, so we decided to make a visual of Lehi's Dream. This is how the bulletin board came out. The little people on the path have the kids faces on them. :)

First Seminary Bulletin Board

This was my first bulletin board for seminary. Lots of fun to make!

A Quilter's Garden

I worked on this one for almost 2 years (finished March 18th, 2010), though probably about a year of that time it was packed because of our move. I made this quilt for our living room. Machine pieced and hand quilted.
