quilting


I started quilting with my mom and our friend, Linda, about a year and half ago... when Chase was born. It started off as something to do when I was on maternity leave. I really like it and it's nice to see my parents once a week and spend quality time with my mom. I've learned how to use my sewing machine finally how to quilt. This is the second quilt we've made since I joined. The first on didn't come out as nice.

This would have cost me upwards $400 if I didn't get it on sale but I got it for half the price. I now have at least 6 or 7 projects for the winter. I started a sweater with the brown yarn. I am making myself a sweater...


Here is the start of the brown sweater...
