In the beginning

My first ever quilt was a little crib quilt sewn while I was pregnant with our first child in 1979. Simple green and white squares, it has been long gone and I do not have one picture of it.

Raising children and other interests occupied my time until I got ambitious and decided to make a denim quilt for my son Scott when he was in his teens. It is made entirely from used jeans.

That was a quilt of epic efforts, and I once again set quilting aside for a few years. I only have one picture of it - taken in the basting stage. NEVER again will I make a quilt in denim.

Eventually the quilt bug bit again, and I have been quilting sporadically for about 12 years now.

Hi Ann - great blog - greater quilt projects. You are so ambitious! Nice to try and catalog all your efforts and have photos and the story that goes along with them! JM
