I joined the Portland Modern Quilt Guild this month! To celebrate I am re-posting a series of posts about how I came to my love of quilts. If you are a long-time reader of this blog (hi, mom and mom-in-law) you have my permission to skip these posts.

I posted earlier about the little crib quilt that I pieced for my baby sister when I was 8 years old. My mom read the post, and last week an unmarked package arrived in the mail with this inside. (Thanks, Mom!)
Although I probably wouldn't pick mint green and pale pink as my favorite colors today, I do still think the prints are sweet and appropriate for a baby girl. The quilt's held up remarkably well. It is (clears throat) 25 years old and still feels soft and snuggly. Sis, I made it all for you :)
I wonder if other people have a "first project" that they can think back to--a first photo taken, a drawing, a cake decorated, a story written.
What was your "first project" and how did it turn out?

Surprise! I didn't send it!

I may have read your quilt posts before, but I am enjoying them a LOT the second time. I see the artist in you in your love of quilts, even from a young age. I also love quilts, but have unfortunately never developed my desire to be like my Grandma H., who pieced hundreds of quilts in her lifetime. -mom-in-law :)
I've been loving your posts on quilts. It's so warm and reassuring to hear your memories of our Grandmas.
So, who did send the quilt? It wasn't me...
Btw, I'm 29... :)
love you - sis or Kris, depending
