Quilt 1 of 9

Here's the story of how I made my first quilt. Blogger & Charter (or maybe its just Charter) are being dumb and freezing so I have to do this in 9 diff. segments to show you it all. I'm missing photos because I'm not uploading any of the ones I took with my cell because it'll charge me internet LOL...
I started with 2 plain white pieces of cotton fabric:

Pulled out my embroidery threads and the pattern:
Arranged the pattern:

And set off to iron:

The lion ironed good:

I'm ironing on the stencils here so I can embroider them:

The stencils ironed on well!

I only had to put in a few spots with my blue magic pen:

Off to embroider!!!!

I have finally finished embroidering both quilts and decided on the perfect gender neutral backings but made them both differant. The quilt on the left is quit #1:

I have attached the top sheet & bottom sheet along with the batting, trimmed it all and attached the binding. Quilt #1 is ready to sew:

Off to quilt #2 now...

Here is quilt #1 with the binding all done so you can get an idea of the end result:

I sat around for a week b4 I got nerve to actually sew it...

Quilt 8 of 9

Because of Blogger & Charter being dumb... this is post 8 of 9 to show my fabuloso quilt. Here u can see the finished product of quilt @ 2!

I know its quit @2 because it has the solid yellow backing:

Here are the 2 quilts together. Quilt 1 on the left & 2 on the right.

This is quilt #1. Its hard to tell but its white & yellow pin stripes.

This is quilt #2

Blogger is being dumb so I have to work backwards... hopefully you all read this in order! This is the last 5 pictures. It's completed!
I'm really proud of myself!



And she was so surprised:


She LOVED them!

She kept wondering why *I* would want a conference:

She also said her last day of school is the start of April Vacation and she will be bringing the babies to school. I told her I needed notice so I can tell my boss I have another teacher conference. He doesn't need to know that it is including babies! I love me some babies... especially 2 at a time... as long as they don't come home with me and I can give them back LOL...

I made a quilt!

YUP! That's right! I did! I have completed one quilt! Second quilt to be finished today... blog with pictures to follow once the second one is completed!

That said, it's 9:47am and I'm fully completed with my work. Waiting for boss' wife to get here so I can show her my quilt that's finished... But, I wanna go home so I can finish quilt #2 and clean my room... getting new furniture on Friday so need to organize...

Off to play a game of spades while I wait to be able to leave...

OK I love you! Bye Bye!
