I have been always admiring people who create beautiful things with their own hands, especially quilts. There is something unique about it. Maybe because each quilt is filled with warmth and love of the person who makes it. My desire to learn how to sew has a long stand history. My first acquaintance with quilting began with the birth of my first daughter. We received a beautiful baby quilt as a gift from my husband's colleague wife (she also made quilts for children with cancer). I really liked it, but back than (9 years ago) it seemed almost impossible to make something like this. Then, 3 years (when my second son was born) later my mom in law got me a Singer machine. Again, it was too intimidating start learning to sew, plus taking care of two kids and going to school at the same time prevented me from doing it. Then 5 years later my third child was on the way and I decided that if I do not learn how to quilt now most likely I will never find a courage:) and time to do it. So, I started taking basic quilting classes. As a result of time constrain (my baby had to come soon) and finishing a thesis this baby quilt was born.

Than, there were other blankets for my mom and my best friends. Unfortunately, I do not have all pictures. Here is one blanket that I made for my expecting friend.

These blankets are very simple (I am just a beginner and there is so much to learn) but in all of them I put a little part of myself.
