Beginning

I'm starting a blog. I don't expect that I'll post often. I'm hoping that by having my own blog, I can post some of my projects and share them! I'm starting out small, with a picture of a quilt that I  completed earlier this year.

Natalie's Quilt

This quilt was made with the help of a Quilting Bee that I'm involved in. In the first year, there were 12 members, and each member was the Queen Bee for a month. For my month, I requested string blocks, and sent the green polka dot fabric as well as scraps to each member. This quilt was made for my second child. When I chose the colors/pattern for this quilt, I did not yet know whether I was having a boy or girl. It turned out she was a girl, so I added a yellow/orange backing and a purple binding to complete the quilt after she was born.

Here's the orange/yellow backing on the quilt.

So I still need to learn how to take good pictures to share, but I'm just starting out here! Hopefully I'll remember to post again sometime soon.

These are my girls. Sophie is 3, and Natalie is 1 - this quilt is her baby quilt!
