This is my first quilt. I made it 22 years ago when I was pregnant with my oldest daughter, Katie. I loved the little patchwork animals on this piece of fabric and paired it with a mint green flannel for the backing. I used a coordinating blue dotted fabric for the border. My sister Teresa and I put it up in the living room of our home and worked on it together. We quilted around the animals. It is a special quilt to me. I remember her tiny quilting stitches....and how meticulous she was. She still is, and I will post pictures of her beautiful quilts here too from time to time. I thought this would be a fun first post. I remember trying to bend over my pregnant belly to reach as far as I could before rolling the frames, thinking about my baby and what she would look like. She was a precious baby and has grown to be one of my best friends! I hope this is the start of a fun blog that showcases some of the quilts I have made and future projects too!
