Quilts

As you may recall, Evan gave me a sewing machine for Christmas. 

Behold ... my first project!



Two little quilt (tops) for my two little girls! :) They are small and simple and skiwampus. But I'm hoping all the love that went into them will make up for their imperfections.

I spent about two weeks on the first one and two days on the second one. Haha. I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, but I hadn't sewn much of anything since Home Ec. in 6th grade, so I worked on the first one pretty cautiously/slowly. Once I finished it and saw that it wasn't a TOTAL disaster, I whipped the second one out with much more confidence/speed ;) Thanks to YouTube for the sewing lessons!

AND! Devyn Olsen offered to quilt and bind them for me, bless her heart. So I am done! I just have to send them off and cross my fingers!

You were very ambitious for your first project! They turned out beautifully. When i feel that ambitious I'll have to get a few pointers from you. For now I'm sticking to simple projects. Great job!
