Quilting Granddaughter

Bri saw this pattern a couple of months ago when she was visiting us but the summer got so busy we didn't get to make it until last week. She selected the fabrics from my stash, arranged their use and placement and operated the foot feed as we made the bag. She was thrilled with it, but what girlie girl wouldn't be thrilled with pink?

Grandchildren Quilting

Here's Brandon with the front side of the quilt we made this spring and summer for his dog. Brandon selected the fabrics, decided on the layout and operated the foot feed as we assembled the quilt top and quilted the quilt. Brandon is a very generous young man. The first quilt he made when he was 4 years old was a Christmas Turning Twenty for his 2 year old brother. Then he made one for himself right after that. The back of the quilt is a cat print that Brandon thought was a cool idea for a dog's quilt. The label is one that we designed on the computer and traced onto fabric and colored using Pigma pens.

Hazel Mackin Community Library Charity Golf Tournament

My friend, Cecily Perry of Kansas, sent me the center of this quilt partially done after she decided it got too big to complete as a wallhanging for her daughter-in-law. Knowing my love of batiks she thought I would find a place for the started quilt top. I added more squares to the top and added the borders. Kathy Kaun machine quilted it and it will be donated to the Hazel Mackin Community Library Charity Golf Tournament on September 13 for their silent auction. All proceeds from the golf tournament go towards the new library building fund. I do hope this brings a nice donation.

4 Quilts Given to Grace Place, Somerset, Wisconsin

A HeartStrings quilt top, about twin sized, that I set the blocks together after receiving them from HeartStrings Block Manager Sue Frank. This too will be donated to Grace Place. Wayne really likes this one and thought it would be a good one for a raffle, but I had already committed it to Grace Place.

A batik quilt about 50" x 50" also out of donated fabrics and machine quilted by Carol S. who longarmed all 4 quilts I'm posting this evening. Wonderful job, Carol!

Another cute quilt for a small child at Grace Place. These quilts are all from our First Monday Sewing Group. We're getting lots of quilts made out of donated fabrics someone wasn't going to use anymore.

A simple strip quilt that will keep some small child warm and cozy at Grace Place.
