Quilting!

I am planning to pursue quilting as my inquiry. It is something that I have wanted to do for several years since a friend of mine showed me the amazing quilts she had created. I have always loved sewing and have sewn several baby blankets for family and friends, but this is a new level of difficulty.

I’ve got some books to get started!

My Great-Grandmother’s Quilt!

I’ve been given this beautiful quilt that my great-grandmother sewed by hand. My mom says she can remember seeing her grandmother and friends working on the quilt together! She also said some of the fabric is from clothing that she remembers from her childhood!

I don’t think I will get this far into a quilt project this term, but I would love to create something beautiful which is smaller. I’m thinking of a baby blanket as a gift!
