First post on my blog!



Okay, I'm trying to figure out how blogspot works! I'd like to use this blog to showcase my quilts that I've made and the ones that are yet to be made. I found a very cool blog by another mom who loves to quilt (thanks crazymomquilts!) and thought it a great way to be even more inspired to do this thing that I love to do so much.
I started quilting shortly after moving to Georgia. I believe it was in the fall of 2005. There was a lady at the church we were going to who used to be part of a quilting ministry in Florida. She found out that a few of us really wanted to learn, so we became the Calvary Chapel Gwinnett Piecemakers. This quilt top was for a baby boy. Our ministry was to make quilts for all the babies born to church members. The quilt I was assigned to make was for a girl, however! So, I gave this top to someone else who was assigned a baby boy, and she finished it. The quilt pictured here is the very first quilt top I made. My friend Susie (who finished layering it and quilting it) and I presented it to the family who had just had their baby boy.
