Getting Gutsy

My mother is like the Queen of Quilting, and you'd think it'd be genetic. But when it comes to having the guts and talent to quilt, I'm more like the Knave. But thankfully she has passed on some of her valuable knowledge to me, and I recently got gutsy and conquered my sewing machine and made a few projects, which I wanted to share in her "quilt room".

This one, a self-binding quilt, Mom taught my sisters and I how to do last month. I "cheated", since the little blocks on this quilt already came that way (I didn't actually sew them together -- hee hee!).

I was really proud of myself with this one -- I started and finished it in one day! (That's a very rare thing for someone like me). Another confession, though: This one came from a kit I got at JoAnn Fabric -- but I DID sew it together myself.


Fun little projects in our baby-to-be's crib. It's so fun to put things together for him!
