Cathy H's PhD

Hi everyone,
I've been looking at all your PhD's and actually I'm quite intimidated!  You're projects are amazing!  I am not an experience quilter. I've never even finished a full quilt. My quilting projects are usually smaller things like wall hangings, of which I have done many, and table runners. The projects I want to finish are both quilts from a $5 class at my local quilt shop. You pay $5, complete the block, bring back the finished block by a certain date, and get the next block  free. The incentive for finishing the blocks was getting a quilt top for around $5.  My quilting time is so limited, that this worked for me. I thought if I joined this challenge, I would be more likely to finish these projects! Here are my two projects.

#1
I call this my "Let It Snow" quilt. This class was three years ago! I have all the blocks finished, 12 pieced and 12 embroidered. I need to make the sashing and borders and then quilt it.

#2
This one needs a little more work. I started it in class this year.  I have a couple of blocks to finish and many Flying Geese blocks that will be the border, and of course some sashing.

I've never taken a quilting challenge or made quilting goals. So, I really am hoping this will work!!  At least I'm going to try!!  

Wish me luck!!
Cathy H.

Fabulous projects, both of them. I, too, like embroidery, and that looks like a super project. I love black in quilts and that one is stunning. I look forward to seeing your progress on these.
