BEAUTIFUL QUILTS FOR CHARITY

 

Pat A. showed off this lovely quilt that she finished while attending the Charity Quilts group at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  The women love to make works of art for charity.

Anyone is welcome to join the Charity Group on the first Monday of each month at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.  If you cannot attend, the group welcomes donations of fabric, batting, backing.  Above Lee Anne brings in boxes of donated fabrics for us to go through.

Above, Laura and Mary T. check out some of the donated fabrics.

This is a quilt that Mary T. made with donated fabrics and batting.  Isn't it lovely!  You'll have to ask Mary about her secret.

 Above are Lee Anne (in front of her new sewing machine) and Yvonne, making beautiful quilts from donated fabrics.  All these quilts go to various charities.

Nancy and Mary worked hard sewing too.

You've seen these blocks before.  I made the centers from scraps.  I call it "made fabric."  Those centers came from my scrap pile.  The rest of the fabrics were donated.  What a fun quilt to make.  Now to get busy and quilt it.

HAVE YOU TRIED APPLIQUE AND QAYG?

My thumb is getting better and I was able to do some work on my QAYG.  The applique pieces are in place ready to sew.

We had nine more inches of snow Wednesday morning when I got up.  Needless to say, I haven't made it to the Attic Window Quilt Shop all week.  I did want to tell you about upcoming events.  I understand Spring is on its way.

BEE HIVE GIVES QUEEN BLOCKS

I haven't been able to get to the Attic Window Quilt Shop for over a week, so I don't have any pictures from the groups there to share with you.  However, I did go to my Modern Bee Hive the other night.  I was Queen Bee and above are the blocks given to me by others in the Hive.  I think this will make a stunning quilt.  I just need to decide on sashing and if I want to add more blocks.  I can't wait to get these blocks put together.  These ladies really made some beautiful blocks.

Greta was previously Queen Bee and she has her blocks all put together into this beautiful top waiting to be quilted.  I can't wait to see it quilted.
