My Mom has been driving me crazy forever about learning to quilt with her, either taking a class or reading a book and teaching her. LOL! My Mom isn't, how can I put it? gifted in the instructions department. All the while she was slowly amassing more quilting supplies than her dining room could hold. Well in August I gave in. Sh started with Native American Star Blankets and I started with a traditional Sue Bonnet Sue pattern. I'm not sure if it was the "Holly Hobby" dollies I loved or it was because the sample was pink, but I had a plan. Alliyah and Summer were already fighting over who was going to get it. I was leaning toward Summer since on the bottom bunk we could see it as well as her bunk was a double and this was quite a large pattern. I had all my dollies done by the end of August and back to school for me and the kids. By then my Mom had a good handle on things and she kept going on her own. In October we made a trip to Fargo where I bought the pink for around my squares and then my quilt just sat, and sat and sat. Well I finally got up enough gumption and finished it. Here it is. I am quite proud of how it turned out! Proud enough that it's final resting place is my stamp room! ;)
