DO YOU GET JOY FROM GIVING?

The Charity group met Monday at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  Above, Laura shows us the quilt that she finished.  These quilts are all made of donated fabrics.
Laura doesn't let any grass grow under her feet.  She began working on her next quilt right away.  Above she struggles over getting just the correct layout.
Nancy was working on stitching the above rows for a quilt she is making.

Lee Anne was working on a blue and white quilt but I didn't get a picture.  She said she'd bring it next month when it is finished.
This is what I worked on.  You may recall that previously I showed you these center squares made from scraps of green fabrics.  I thought I had enough fabric when I was making my star points, but realized I needed more orange fabric.  Therefore, I made more star points from a different fabric.  Jill helped me design on my layout, which I will show you when I get further along.
