My first quilt

Here is a picture of my first quilt.

It was fairly easy to make this rag quilt.


I didn't use a cotton thread and it did not hold up really good.


Also I didn't use a big enough table to sew it together and got a lot of pulling from the weight of the quilt.
Flannel is nice, but I didn't use quilter's flannel. I think it would be better.

Here is a more recent baby doll quilt:

And a baby quilt that I did emroidery on.

I loved the Minky back on this!!

This is a post for a parade of quilts!

  1. Renee ~ That's not fair! Including a picture of Genesis with your first quilt makes it even more wonderful ~ x1000! A very cute quilt and a very gorgeous girl! All three of your quilts are wonderful and I'm quite envious of your embroidery skills. Thank you for playing along!
