Katie, over at Katies Beading Blog, inspired me to share a then and now post. Enjoy! Or cringe!
Back in the mid-nineties I was not yet a quilter, but I made several lap size "cheater" quilts. My husband received one with sailing ships (pictured above), my brother one with golf related things and my mother-in-law a printed quilt panel. I found backings, quilted each and added nice bindings. My Aunt J. in NC taught me how to do the bindings and I can remember the lesson as if it were yesterday! Thanks Aunt J.!
I cringe when I see those cheaters now. I know I can do so much better! I guess you have to start somewhere!
