ok... I could cry! I called my dad and told him that I needed to reshot his quilt... I don't have photos anywhere and I honestly think I was sre excited to give it to him that I didn't take photos! I've done this on a few projects! It pisses me off to no end when I do that! I never took pictures and now I know better!

Here are the first two quilts I ever made!!!

And an example of my free hand machine quilting. My daughter and I were bored so we decided to try applique, lol and I had Nooooo IDEA how.. so I thought... cut it out, fold the edges in and swe it on! LOL this is what we got! I did the arms and Kate ironed the body... its a bit wavy but thats what makes it so sweet, we will always look at that K and laugh! we had sew much fun making it! and discovering a new way to create together! I ended up playing with the freehand Quilting foot, with the feed dogs down, for the very first time! And found out that I have a knack for quilting! (if I do say so myself!) I really got into a groove and was swirling around like mad! I whipped that out in no time. I was rather impressed with my first attempt at quilting... I think its the most enjoyable part of the process!
