My first quilting blog

Quilts, Quilts...All over the Place! I took a quilting class at my church many years back.  Two wonderful, passionate quilters, Ellen and Sharon, taught me the love of making quilts.  I was a little hesitant at first.  As an engineer, I like things to be symmetric and even.  I thought I'd never be able to finish a quilt because I'd obsess about making sure the points lined up...and the stitching was even...etc... I got over that very quickly.  They reminded me that these are handmade, so they don't have to be perfect!  I do still try very hard to make sure my points line up, and the seam ripper is my very best friend, at times.  But sometimes, I just let it go and move on! I'll post some of the old quilts and tell you about them...as soon as I find the pictures.  I've also begun making t-shirt quilts!  The possibilities are endless!  This is the quilt I made for my sister, Brigette.  I gave it to her for Christmas and she was so happy to get it.
