My first post and quilt

I am finally starting my very first quilting blog. I will give a little back ground of me. I started quilting in May 2010 by taking a class at JoAnn's after work. I had a wonderful teacher named Candy. 

I have all the pictured of that first quilt. It was a bird quilt. I love birds so after years of saying "I really want to learn to quilt" I took the plunge. I had a push from my friend, Stephanie to do it. 

Please, forgive the picture arrangement. I was trying to get them to line up.

 I tend to quilt a lot then on Tuesday night listening to Hounddog Radio on the internet.

Stitch in ditch. I found out later after using thread to match the
back that I should have used clear and you were to stay inside the
seams. I thought she said beside the seam.
