donation quilts
I’ve posted pictures of my sisters and myself sewing together in a hotel room earlier this year, but I had another opportunity to sew with them when my sister Carole and I went to Pensacola to visit our baby sister, Linda. We normally sew at Linda’s dining table, but she recently had her screened in…
Read MoreWow, the time has gotten away from me. With all the graduation t-shirt quilts, I haven’t found much time for anything else during the month of May. However, I did want to show you some quilts I pieced at my last retreat before my next one comes up. Both of these are donation quilts for…
Read MoreI just got back from my annual Sister Trip with my two sisters. We stayed in a hotel suite so we would have room to set up our sewing machines and have a mini-retreat. We went to Austin and visited seven different quilt shops. We always saved doggie bags from our lunches to eat for…
Read MoreIf you’ve read many of my blogs, you know that I am passionate about quilting. I just love the process. But there is also a great deal of satisfaction from the pleasure that others derive from my quilts. I got a text from my sister yesterday that was probably the most rewarding I’ve ever gotten…
Read MoreI spent a lot of time between Christmas and New Year’s Day working on some of my own projects…..as opposed to customer t-shirt quilt projects. I completed three quilts that will be donated to the West Houston Quilter’s Guild. Our guild has donated hundreds of quilts to Project Linus and to nursing homes. The quilt…
Read MoreI shared a couple of my friends’ retreat quilts last week, so I thought I would share a couple that I pieced at Quilter’s Cabin. The one on the left will probably be donated to West Houston Quilter’s Guild for a charity quilt. Our guild regularly donates quilts to Project Linus and to nursing homes.…
Read MoreBecause I really felt the need for one more retreat per year (two just aren’t enough), I scheduled a retreat for this week at Quilter’s Cabin and invited ten of my favorite quilters. There were only six of us including myself who were able to come, but we had a great time. Jody, my best friend…
Read MoreI just got back from a retreat at Quilter’s Cabin in Tomball a couple of weeks ago and even though there were only four of us, we accomplished a lot. We worked on some charity quilts as well as quilts for ourselves. I made the quilt on the left for my bedroom. Here are a…
Read MoreAs I’ve mentioned in previous posts, quilters are a generous lot and we enjoy making and giving away quilts. My sisters, my mother, and I have been making quilts for a special facility that we hold dear to our hearts. It is a rehab home for women who have lost their way and it has…
Read MoreAt our recent retreat, our bee members presented our “elder stateswoman” with a Round Robin quilt. Shirley had given us the center medallion a couple of months ago and asked us to complete it for her. Each of us took a turn at adding pieced borders to the quilt and she did not see it…
Read MoreQuilters love to share their love of quilting with others and teach them how to piece quilts. I made my first quilt when I was nine years old, so it was appropriate that my granddaughter do the same. I handed her two sets of five inch squares, otherwise known as charm packs, and let her…
Read MoreI might have mentioned in a previous blog that I had been working on some of my own quilts after the graduation t-shirt quilt rush had passed. Actually, that wasn’t quite true. I have a niece who is living in a long-term rehab facility with about a dozen other women. My mother pieced a quilt…
