I retired, bought a new machine and decided I want to learn how to quilt. This is my very first quilt ever! I was so excited to get it finished so I could give it to my friend before her first baby arrived. Her baby room theme was elephants, in coral & gray. I appliquéd the elephant, embroidered baby "Brynlee" and hearts & other elephants. I didn't know about all the fabulous tutorials by MSQC when I made this quilt. If I had I would have bought a charm pak instead of spending so much time picking out fabric and cutting. I put my old rusty sewing skills to the test! Since this quilt I have learned so much from Jenny's tutorials. The 2nd quilt "Sail Away" became a reality after I watched Jenny's tutorial at least 10 times. I have a long way to go before I can call myself a quilter but I am certainly enjoying the journey!
