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 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 MoreWhile at retreat a couple of weeks ago, I pieced a couple more quilts for Charis House so I could get them quilted on my longarm to take to Pensacola last week. My friend Betty also pieced a quilt for them. I was able to get all three quilted to take to my sister for…
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 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 MoreIt seems I’m in the stage of life where I have a lot of special occasions that call for me to make a gift quilt. This particular one is for one of my nieces who is very dear to my heart. She lives in Maine, so I don’t get to see her often anymore, but…
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…
Read MoreI’ve really enjoyed buying fabric and making quilts for Camp Hope. Carol Thelen, the founder of Quilts for Camp Hope, spoke at the West Houston Quilter’s Guild last week, so I got to grab a picture of her with a Camp Hope Quilt on the lectern. I also took her another quilt that I finished…
Read MoreI’m always happy to hear about another successful fundraiser quilt. A retired chemistry teacher had me make a t-shirt quilt out of chemistry related t-shirts to help raise funds for teaching scholarships. I just received this message from her: “It brought in more than I paid for it by quite a bit. I was so…
Read MoreI thought it appropriate to work on a quilt for Camp Hope on the July 4th weekend. I just finished piecing it and will get it quilted and bound before I see Carol Thelen in a couple of weeks. Carol is the founder of Quilts for Camp Hope. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, Camp…
Read MoreAfter I had just written last week’s post about quilts for causes, I got an email from my quilting friend Amy who had pieced a T-shirt quilt and had me quilt it a few months ago. It was a donation quilt to be used as a fundraiser for Camp Blessing which is a summer camp…
