Beginning quilters advance

Here are two quilts made by some of the students from our beginning quilting class.  Wow, with a little help from a great teacher they are well on their way to quilting success.

Kathy Severing finished this colorful top.

And Kevin Mead made this turtle quilt for his girlfriend with the skills and confidence he gained in beginning quilting.

Congratulations quilters!  Keep up the good work.
