Today’s Throwback Thursday project was one of my very first quilting endeavors. I was so very pleased with myself for having succeeded in making this Log Cabin sewing machine cover that I made one for my mother as well!

The one I made for my mother was blue and yellow.

The pattern came from this book that I used to teach myself to quilt.

I think I purchased it at Walmart and I made several projects from it. I decided in 2004 that I would learn to quilt and along with this book, I purchased fabric, batting, needles, a rotary cutter, cutting mat and curved safety pins. I’m 99% sure the book came from Walmart and the other supplies from Joann’s. I remember an employee there showing me around the store to the various items that a new quilter would need. I’d say she done good!

Sadly, this sewing machine cover doesn’t fit my new machine but it was fun to pull it out today and have a look at my handiwork from quite a few years ago.

Do you have any throwback projects to share? I’m linking up with Quiltin’ Jenny and Ozzypip today.
