Two Finished Quilts



This first quilt is for my master bedroom.  When I took the Babylock longarm quilting class in St Louis, we had a field trip to a wonderful fabric store.   The selection of batiks was superb.




This is a Scrappy Trip Around the World done in 2 inch squares.    It is a good "stash buster".

I have become very fond of   http://www.quiltville.com/.     Bonnie has wonderful patterns and ideas to share there.

Finished quilt for a twin log bed.




This quilt was made with some REPURPOSED FABRICS.   I got good quality larger 100% cotton men's shirts from the GOODWILL boutique.    Cut them apart and all the blocks are those fabrics with the exception of the borders and setting triangles.

Tea Party

It has been awhile since anything has been posted here.  There has been some traveling to see mom, some special company recooperating from illness, and the general everyday duties and happenings.  
.......  and a little bit of quilting.

Project Linus ...



Donated a few finished quilts to a nice cause. Project Linus is a national organization for giving quilts and blankets to children newborn to 18 years. Each local chapter works within their county so the quilts are distributed locally unless there is a national disaster.
It was an opportunity to use fabrics in my stash that I would like to clear out.
I saw many interesting blankets at the Make A Blanket Day. There is a lady in the community that makes quilts nonstop and she is almost 90 years old. The organization tries to keep her supplied with donated fabric for the cause.

shhhhhh.......Quiet Book... for special little boy!
