I'm so sorry about your arthritis - all the women on my mother's side end up with arthritis in their hands so I'm really hoping I got my hand genes from my Dad!

WOW! Some fantastic first time results!! I have no idea where mo first quilt would be... gave it to an old boyfriend and both he and the quilt disappeared about 30 years ago!
But I do have a sweet little crib quilt that I made for Ryan when he was born 26 years ago. It is hand-embroidered alphabet squares. I'll look and see if it is in his closet and take a pic of it... when I get out of bed. The laptop and I are snuggled away for the day. My first illness since retiring... sore throat and cough.

Gk, your first quilt reminds me of some old song:
stars shining brightly above you,
Birds whispering, ......I love you,
something, something.
Dream a little dream of me. :D
I like those stars! Did you happen to name it?

Well my first effort wasn´t really a quilt but a wall hanging, here it is anyway, it was a kit I bought, was that kimono of hers ever a pain.
