The Quilt


I've decided to make my grandbaby a quilt. I love quilts but do not have any real experience with them. The internet is a wonderful resource. I've been looking and looking at different EASY quilts I might could make. Looking at youtube I discovered with a special pressure foot you can machine quilt on a regular sewing machine. Can you believe my sewing machine is older than Tracy? I went to the Singer store to get the foot and they had quilts all over the store. It's gets even better! They are teaching the easiest quilt class this Saturday, so I signed up for the $40 class! Today, I went and picked out my fabric. It is gender neutral in baby pastels. Very sweet. Here is a sample picture of a baby girl rag quilt. I can't wait to get started!
