I finished my first quilt!
I derlurked a few weks ago and haven't posted since. That's because I've
been really busy! I've finished my first proper quilt! (I did make a small tablemat size one a couple of weeks ago but that doesn't count). The quilt is for my Dad who's birthday is on the 5th (he's also quite ill as he has an inoperable brain tumour) and its a lap quilt which turned out to be 49" by 60". I finished it tonight and its in the washing machine. Once its dry I'll take photos but I can tell you that its made from almost totally recycled fabrics - I had buy some fabric for the borders.

Emma-
I'm so sorry to hear of your father's illness. I will pray for him. BUT.... YAAAAAaaaayyyy!!! for you and your first finished quilt! It will bring him much comfort and you can be very proud of yourself. What are you going to do for your next quilt project? Leslie and Furbabies in MO.

A good friend will come and bail you out of jail.... but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Damn... that was fun!" |

No resting now, what's next? ;-D Ragmop/Sandy--gentle hugs for your dad Thanks I'm not sure what's next - maybe a crazy quilt cushion cover. Or perhaps the pair of trousers that I bought everything for over six weeks ago and still haven't round to. I forgot to mentiion in my other post. - I work for a small software company who produce websites for curtain and upholstery companies so we have an building stacked full of fabric samples! Its torture sitting at my desk staring at the lovely fabric all day. My boss has said that I can take home anything I fancy from the older stuff that hasn't been reclaimed though *grin* Emma |

Well done Emma!! You'll probably find that you've caught the 'Hmmm I'll
just have a quick look at that design, and that fabric would look rather good' Bug. Hope so :-) Lynn "lloer" wrote in message ... I derlurked a few weks ago and haven't posted since.

Well done, Emma!
A first quilt is so special. I'm really sorry about your Dad; but quilts from daughters have very special comforting powers. It will be lovely to see a picture when you can.
