New Hobby?

New hobby? It just may be. Alisa and I have started quilting. She suggested we take a quilting class and use our project as a Christmas gift. This guaranteed the project would get done and not be added to the many on our shelves. We had an excellent teacher in Nancy Boyce. She took us step by step through to completion. It was actually not hard. I still struggle with figuring out the measurements but she tells me it will come with time. I have already started another on just to see if I can do it again. This is the quilt I did...my first strip quilt. I worked on it off and on for two months. Todd & Chelsea are the lucky recipients. The first picture is me at work at the sewing machine. Then you have the completion of the top portion of the quilt. Next come tying the quilt (two pictures) and then the final product. I chose the colors because Todd & Chelsea usually give away gifts with the patriotic colors but they don't have very many of their own. She loved it and I am excited for Todd to see it when he returns home.
