I've discovered a true love of quilting in the past few weeks. I made my first full-size quilt at Christmas for my goddaughter and it came out well. I've since realized that making smaller quilts is much faster and more enjoyable (I'm definitely an instant gratification kind of girl). My friend Kirstin in Berlin is about to have her first baby, so I thought she needed a baby quilt. I saw this flannel giraffe fabric when I was still living up in Maine and just couldn't resist it. I thought it was adorable and looked so cute with the green polka dot fabric. This quilt came together really quickly and I think it turned out great. I hope it keeps Kristin and William's baby cozy and warm.
My second small quilt is for Jean. Her hospital room is pretty bland and needed a little spicing up. I saw this fabric last week and immediately loved it. It will add some nice color and excitement to Jean's room and is made with lots of love to protect and heal her. I can't wait to bring it to her this afternoon. And after I go to the hospital I'm going to JoAnn Fabrics to buy fabric for my next project. You'll have to check back to see what it is!

Michelle I am so proud of you. I am also jealous. I wish I had the time to work on the one I started. The student has surpassed the teacher! Love you lots! ~Stacey
So you missed the quilting nights in Peru I wil forgive you that. If you had stayed a little longer I would have someone to quilt with now that I am in Mira Flores....so pick up some quarters and remember us down here.
You are off to a fantastic start, there are more quitling adventures to be had! Maybe we can share one???
