Throwback Thursday

This is one of my first quilting projects.  It was a thimbleberries pattern that was so much fun to make.  Lynette's instructions are great for beginning piecers. 

It is so much fun to look back at past projects.  What  a wonderful way to reminisce about my quilting journey.

Look at that quilting!  If I remember right I didn't mark it I just eyeballed it.  I didn't even know that quilting the crosshatching on the bias is so much easier than on the straight of grain. I loved this pattern so much, that I made three more and they were gifted to family and a special friend. Yet even though my skills have increased, I pull this piece out and use it as a table topper on my dinning room table. It has become one of those beloved Christmas decorations that you pull out because it reminds you of the past, those special times with loved ones, it doesn't get better than that. Hope all of you are enjoying the season and pulling out those wonderful decorations that make Christmas special in your heart!
