Here is my quilt top from quilting 101 that I have been attending on Monday mornings for six weeks. I actually went for 5 weeks and doubled up last week because I am going out of town this afternoon. Anyway, it was definitely a learning experience and through the mistakes I made I will be better equipped for my next project. Later we will have a finishing class to add batting, the back, quilting and lastly binding but at least the top is done. It will be a wall hanging and possibly hang in our lake house. I also added a picture of the teacher's sample that we followed, she used batiks, so pretty. I will miss the women from the class, it was fun to encourage and help each other, but I have a feeling many of us will be back for other classes.If you click you can see the fabrics better, but please excuse the yucky walls in the background. Our bedroom is almost empty because I stripped the wallpaper that we put up 25 years ago now. Now my 25 year old son will soon be painting it if I can ever choose a color. DH is holding the top for me, right in the middle of packing for a conference in Houston.
And the teacher's quilt . . .
With all the ott lights on in the room this picture is somewhat washed out so you can't see the true colors and the quilting, bummer.

Hi Mom,
your wall hanging is AWESOME. I love seeing the finished product after only seeing the first square. Its gorgeous. If only I had a farmhouse, I'd STEAL it from you! Hehehe. Its GORGEOUS! I haven't been on here in TOO long. I LOVE looking at all of your projects. The garage sale was really fun yesterday. Now we need to find out when Warrensburg's is or hold one ourselves!! I love the humuhumunukunukuapuahah on the hawaiian shirt! Nice fabric. Adorable. And the girl's dresses are adorable. Your blog is looking AwEsOmE! Love it. Know what's fun? I know some of the projects you are currently working on and I can't wait till they're on here!! I'm thinking of one in particular that is so cool. - Courtney
The shirt you just gave me would've been great on your blog too. When I get a photo of me in it, I'll pass it along to you. - Courtney
Sue - Your top came out wonderful. I'll miss you tomorrow at class, but hope to see you at finishing school. Wish I had your talent for sewing, but I'm a late starter. Love your blog - so glad you told me where to find it -Barbara
It really looks incredible. You must be so thrilled to have the top finished and ready to do the quilting on it. It looks like it was a great class that taught you all kinds of quilting techniques.
Wow! Great job! I love taking classes too. There's always something to learn and new people to meet. Please post it again after you get it all done. Will you quilt it yourself or have it done?
