A friend kept telling me we should take a quilting class. I finally give in and signed for a class. Guess what? She never showed for any of the classes! After the first class I was hooked. Joan, our instructor, was so informative and fun. She made the process not only look easy but fun. At the end of the 6 weeks I had my first quilt and a huge desire for more.
This is the result of that class. A small quilt that I just love.
While taking this class, hanging on the wall next to me was another quilt I just loved. I picked up the pattern, fabrics and away I went. I cut, I pieced and sewed it all together and this is what I got.
Lightning Strike is the pattern and I love it. Another friend does long arm quilting and she quilted it for me. Here is a picture of it. It is also the quilt in my header.
So, if anyone is out there, reading this, come on back. I will show you more.
