i don’t know what has come over me. i am now obsessed with fabric! i cannot get enough of the stuff. seriously, there should be ’aa’ like meetings for people with fabric addictions. i discovered on my cousin erin’s blog, the fabulous quilts she makes. i fell in love! i was really hankering for one. badly! i finally decided to try to make one myself. i could sew, so why not!? 
my first quilt was a christmas quilt that i think turned out pretty well for my first try. i don’t understand the whole binding thing, so i handed it off to my mom for that part. i should add that i started this quilt last november, and didn’t finish until well into january. well, the best laid plans i guess. its all ready for next christmas!
this is the finished top piece. i seriously would have been proud of myself with finishing this much, so i am super duper happy with a quilt that is completely done! woo hoo!!!! i did it! there’s no stopping me now. soon after i finished this one, i decided to make my awesome twin nieces birthday quilts. their birthday is in march. the beginning of march. was i insane!? it took me 3 months to make one quilt. what made me think i could make 2 quilts before their birthday!? who knows!
the finished products. done! …one month late! i ended up giving the twins their presents on easter instead of their birthday, but i think they were happy with them. i even whipped up a couple matching pillows the night before because i am such a glutton for punishment. 
i am in the process of making a quilt with moda’s authentic fabric. i am so psyched about this one. i love this fabric, and cannot wait to be able to cuddle under my new quilt. can i say how much i love precut fabric. these fabric jelly and dessert rolls will save me hours of cutting. love, love, love them!!! wish me luck!
Hi Pumpkinmoon! Thanks so much for taking the time to see my first quilt and leave a comment! I did a happy dance when I saw it! =) I then had to come over to your blog and see what you were up to. I must say, I love your Xmas quilt and the other two you finished sooo fast (how’d you do it?!) for your nieces. I can’t wait to see what you’ll make with moda fabric!
thank you so much!!!! i honestly don’t know how i did those two quilts so fast. lots of dedicated sewing time after work and on the weekends. my mom did the binding for me…i can’t seem to master that! i can’t wait to see what i make with the moda fabric either. i do have it laid out how i think i want it, but don’t want to make any rash sewing decisions. i’m going to live with the design in my head for a few more days before i commit, lol!
