Leigh's 1st quiltSampler Quilt
My first quilt, completed September, 1976. Terrible photo, but
it's the only one I have. I was pretty inexperienced, but it still
won the 3rd Premium at the Newton County Fair, Jasper, AK


Embroidery

A counted cross stitch I made for my daughter in 1995.

These bird embroideries were completed over the years as gifts. Eventually they were made into a crazy quilt. To see the completed quilt, click here.
