Jeanne --
Yes, my first quilt. It was from a class that I took with my oldest daughter (who is a great quilter), so I didn't pick the pattern, just the fabrics. Luckily, the photo is not a close up or you would see all the little mistakes, lol. And funny that you should mention that I didn't sew any of the blocks on the wrong way, because my daughter did sew one whole strip on the wrong way. Bless her heart. But she caught it in time and redid it. That is a jacket that I am wearing over my pajamas -- it was a bit cold in our cabin that night. It is made from a black sweatshirt that is cut down the middle front and it has star, pumpkins (you can see one peeking out from under my arm), black cats and bat appliquéd on it. I didn't make the jacket but I did cut out all the little pieces for this jacket and all the pieces for about another 100 of various patterns (for my sister-in-law who made the jackets).

WOWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!! thats u'r first? omg, talk bout setting high standards. where to go from there. all those points match perfectly and looks like you didnt do anything silly like turn a block round the wrong way when sewing it in either. i'm blown away. have added you're page to my favs at webshots. i look forward to more eye candy, well done indeed. and aren't u just the cutest too, lol. 'very nice stars' on your sweater/jumper/jacket/shoulder. snorfle jeanne |

Lol, thanks. I have already done an encore -- a tumbling block done in blues and whites (of course, lol). Now you will have to explain to this inexperienced quilter what a Baltimore Album is. Love in Stitches, Coleen "frood" wrote in message m... Dang, woman! What will you do for an encore? A Baltimore Album? That's fantastic! -- Wendy |

Leslie --
Thank you very much. Well of course I would have to pick blue and white since blue is my favorite color. My daughter did hers in purples and yellows and it is also beautiful. I can't remember what the other ladies in the class used for their colors, but I do think I was the only one that made a king size quilt. Love in Stitches, Coleen "The HairyFacedOnes 'N Me" wrote in message ... Coleen, your FIRST??? Gosh, I *am* impressed! Lover-ly! And very effective use of color. Keep up the GREAT work!

Patti --
Thank you. I am very proud of it and of course all the wonderful congrats here have made me even more proud of it. LOL. Yes, that is me holding the quilt. Sue took this picture during our cross stitch retreat last weekend. Love in Stitches, Coleen "Patti" wrote in message ... Hullo Coleen That is terrific! I love it. Congratulations. You must be thrilled with your first quilt. I think it might not be your last? g Is that you holding the quilt? If so, it's great to have a face to put to the name. Thanks for figuring out how to share it with us. |

Thank you. I'm not sure how much talent I have, but I did indeed have to
find lots of patience to get this finished. I have to thank my daughter for encouraging me to finish it (although I'm not sure if she has ever finished hers from the same class, lol).

Sherri --
Thank you. It was probably way more elaborate than a first time quilter should have attempted but it was for a class and we didn't get to pick the pattern. Thank you for letting me share it with you all. Love in Stitches, Coleen "sdgodfrey" wrote in message ... OMGoodness! This is beautiful and quite elaborate for a first quilt! Thanks for letting us see. -- Sherri G in Kentucky http://community.webshots.com/user/sdgodfrey |

Suzie --
Thank you. LOL, I would be glad to take your stash off your hand -- especially any blues and purples that you have (only kidding). I don't know if the pattern is still available, hopefully it is. I think our instructor may have had the quilt shop order copies that we were to go in and pick up. The pattern was published in 1989 but we didn't get it until probably 2001, so it might still be available. Love in Stitches, Coleen "Paul & Suzie Beckwith" wrote in message ... FIRST QUILT??? That's it, I'm giving up - who wants my stash? Coleen - its absolutely gorgeous - is the pattern yours, or where is it from?
