Raggedy Ann Quilt

Five years ago I decided to get a sewing machine and start sewing for the first time since high school. This was my first major project: a raggedy ann quilt for my mom. Here is a picture of her puppy, Xander sitting on the bed...LOL. Anyway, I found some raggedy ann fabric, but I did a lot of drawing on many of the squares. I also had my children draw squares for it. It is a king size. When she came to see me from out of state, I had it on my bed. She came back to my room and said, "where did you get the raggedy ann quilt? " I said, "I made it. It's yours." It was so fun. Most of the squares are 12". It was my first quilt in 15 years so I was afraid to start something with smaller squares. This only took me 2 weeks to complete, so that motivated me to start more complicated quilts.

Very nice! Bet she loved it!

A puppy named Remy LeBeau? You wouldn't be an XFan would you?

Welcome to the ring!

That would be my husband who is the X fan. I promised to let him name the dog if he agreed to getting one. ;-)
