A Beginner Quilter is Born

My mom is getting in on the quilting action these days! Recently I designed a few quilts that are along the lines of my speed, which means they are great for beginners. It's great to have someone "in house" making things before my eyes- and not have it be me!

Nautical fun in pinwheel form using Seven Seas.
My mom, Arlette, hasn't been at a sewing machine for probably 25 years now, but she picked it up like a pro. Last week she cut and assembled a summery nautical pinwheel quilt using Seven Seas and is about to try her hand at some triangles with Alegria.

She'll kill me for posting this! :D
Some triangle action in Alegria.
More photos when they're all prettied up with quilting and binding. But in meantime, let's hear it for Arlette!
