I'm just getting back in to quilting and recently finished a wall hanging kit I picked up last year -- still need to post photos.

My local Babylock dealer offered it as a 6 week class which I took with my Mom.
Now I just need to go over to her house and help her with the binding on her quilt and we can both say we are done. :)
