My very first quilt…and I finished it too!
Late last year I bought my first ever sewing machine. Having never sewed before I was surprised at how quickly I began to enjoy it and how relaxing I found it. First I had great fun making a selection of dinosaur hoodies for W which were a huge hit and then I came across this on pinterest. A quilting series for beginners. But I couldn't quilt could I? The more I read the more I began to think that maybe it was possible after all. The posts seemed really easy to follow.

That would just be mean. *Rubs hands with glee*. I nearly snatched the postman's hands off when my selection box arrived, and was delighted to discover ...
