So I've joined a quilting group...the Silly Stichers...a group of local ladies who like to get together once a week for good food and fellowship; oh and learning to make quilts.
I've always wanted to learn how to quilt and I've finally given myself time to do it. I'm loving it so far and having a wonderful time. There's about 7 or 8 or us who get together. Some of the ladies just come for the fellowship and help those of us who have never quilted before. I have to say it's a great time.
For our first project we are making a Sampler Quilt consisting of 12 blocks. A Sampler Quilt is made up of 12 different quilting patterns. So far I have made a 9-patch, a Pinwheel, and an Anvil. Currently I'm working on the Broken Wheel pattern. Before I even knew what I was making I knew who was going to receive my first quilt; my momma! Mom is my best friend so it's only fitting she gets the first. But, shhhh, she doesn't know it!
Here's a look at what I've been up to:

| Anvil |
I'll add more as I get them finished.
Until next time . . .
