I am aware that my blog, which is, after all, called Quilt Times, has had virtually no quilting content recently, so I thought I'd show you my first ever quilt. At the time I made this, I had had no lessons, I did it all from books or magazines, which just might explain my non-pointy points, etc. This was made for my mother, who loved orangey-tawny-yellow colours.
As today is Mother's Day in the US, it seemed an appropriate day to show this quilt.
I must thank everyone for their get well wishes too. I am sorry I have not replied to everyone, but typing when lying down, has proved to be impossible for me. I am now up and about, albeit slowly, and definitely on the mend.
Nice to have you back! Well I would be proud of that quilt, first or not, it's lovely and who cares about a few non pointy points.
ReplyDeleteIt is a WONDERFUL quilt!! Love the way that you did the quilting. I don't care if you post about quilting or not, I just love hearing from you! Hope you are feeling better! Don't worry about replying, just get better!!!!
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself, just went picked some Lily of Valley from the garden. Life is good.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better. Welcome back!
So glad to see that you are a wee bit better and back to catching up with us a bit. Take it easy on yourself!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you're on the mend. Your first quilt is lovely and looks far better than my first one!
ReplyDeleteFor a first try you did a very nice job. Happy to hear you are feeling better. Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteYou sure tackled a difficult quilt for your first quilt!! Now when you were making that quilt it's too bad you couldn't have looked into the future and seen YOUR VERY OWN QUILTING BOOK!! Incredible isn't it!!
ReplyDeleteHope your back is back! Nothing is worse than back pain...except childbirth! (I have got to stop saying that or I will NEVER get any grand kids!!) haha
Take care and Happy Mother's Day!

I made my first quilt for my Mother also....but it isn't nearly as advanced as the one you made. Did you quilt it too? Glad to hear you are feeling better Sue. Take care.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you're on the mend. What a pretty quilt, and all the prettier as a first quilt, Is that hand quilting I see as well? My goodness. Any chance of getting a glimpse of the one beneath?
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better. Your first quilt is just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you've been laid up but I'm pleased you're up and about again.
ReplyDeleteHusband's cousin was flat on his back and they gave him long spaghetti in hospital!
How lovely! Much better than my first quilt whose whereabouts are unknown (very ex-boyfriend from a thousand years ago). As long is your back is ready by Saturday....
ReplyDeleteI still have non-pointy points. Please tell me that some day they will have points. :)
ReplyDeleteWe all have a first quilt and yours is wonderful. Thank you for sharing. Hope the back is doing well.
