2010 in review

2010 was a good year for me. I left a job that was driving me slowly insane, and I learned to quilt! Here is a collection of photos of my 2010 projects:

My first quilt: A baby quilt for a friend




A diaper bag and changing pad for another friend:



A lap quilt for my mom for Christmas:




A queen size quilt for my sister:






Two twin quilts for my boyfriends parents for christmas:






A table runner:




Another baby quilt that I have hanging in my sewing room:





I also made three Amy Butler quilts, but I can't find my pictures of them, so I will have to post those later.

New Year- New Blog

Hello!

I have decided that along with the new year I need a blog to document my quilting adventures. I am currently unemployed as the name of my blog will tell you but hopefully that will change in 2011! I have taken my time since I left my job to learn to quilt and have loved every minute of it! I hadn't done anything creative for years so as soon as I started I couldn't stop!

When my boyfriend moved into my apartment a year and a half ago I gave him one of the spare bedrooms as his "Man Cave" but when I decided quilting was going to become a big part of my life I had to reclaim that space and turn it into the Quilting Room!

Before:


And After!

I find it funny to look at this picture now as this was taken the day I finished taking over the man cave, but now (6 months later) it is very full of fabric and projects! I will post a more recent picture soon. 

Happy New Year!
