First up, my first attempt at quilting! :) It is not the best looking thing, as after I cut them originally, the fabric started fraying, so I had no re-cut them with the pinking shears and do so unevenly, not really caring about the end result.... :) I also played around with hand-stitching vs. machine stitching. I still haven't made up my mind about that..... My buddy, Sara walked me through the quilting for the first time, she is a great quilting teacher! She said I did great, which looking at this, must mean she is trying to boost my confidence.....LOL So a BIG thank you to her! I am still happy and am SURE my next one will look GREAT, as I will be trying harder, and with cuter fabric! Speaking of that, here is my next fabric choices for quilting!
This is going to be a rag quilt for my oldest daughter, who is my little cowgirl! :) Whatchya think?
Next up....
This is the jar pin cushion I finished the other night! The fabric is called "Blue Bird", And I got it from Joann's. I am IN LOVE with it. I got more of it and plan to make curtains out of it for my kitchen. Well, eventually anyways! :P I do love that it is storage and the cushion! Honestly, this would look better with a smaller print, but it's mine and I like it!
AWW THANKS for the compliment!! Love your pics especially the one with the pincushion on the table outside! That color combo is really GREAT seeing it all together NOW!!
