Well, my bestest buddy (Joy) has been on me to post more on my blog. So this one is for you my friend !!! Joy and I are taking a quilting class together and having a ball. It's so much fun to see all the different quilts that these people are making. I am making my first quilt right now and am just so excited to see it all come together. Quilting is like painting to me, only with material. I really get my creative juices flowing. I already have my next quilt picked out and have purchased the material for it (because the quilt will be made for Matt). Of course, I have all of this to thank Joy for. She got me hooked and now I have the "FEVER".

Here is a picture of my very first attempt at making something regarding quilting. This is my very first table runner, which I'm keeping for myself (because it's not "perfect").






but, everyone who saw it loved it !!! Joy showed me what I needed to do and helped me figure out the pattern, cutting the material (which I HATE), and showing me the mitered corners. I have made eight more since this one (pictures to follow at a later date).


However, here is a picture of me working on my table runner at Joy's house, while she finished the baby quilt she was making for Pat's boss. I'm making this table runner for a Christmas gift for one of the ladies I work with at the school. I have two more to make before then.















And, here is a picture of Joy with the baby quilt...
