Quilting

I fell in love with quilting when I was making a baby quilt for my best friend's new baby girl.  It can seem very daunting at first, but it is actually a lot easier than you would think, and all you need is a sewing machine, fabric, and thread!

There are tons of free templates online, but my favorites to start with are the jelly roll quilts.  They come together fairly quickly and make beautiful designs.

Right now I am working on a scrap quilt.  It is being made from two dresses that my husband bought me when we were dating that don't fit anymore...Couldn't bear to part with them, so they will become a beautiful baby quilt.

More to come on how I am creating this quilt for no money!  :)
