Dogs

Yes, busy first frogs and now DOGS. This was a panel that I just didn't know what to do with. Pillows? Wall hangings? Finally found some other pieces of matching dogs and now it is large lap quilt.

Sit and Sew for Cancer

Our church quilting group joined up with another neighboring church group and a 3rd group of just friends sew together group. We were 23 people. We worked from 9 to 2 and made for ladies who have mastectomies and then chemo useful items to help them. 51 seat belt pillows for after surgery were sewn stuffed and hand stitched shut. 15 rag type lap quilts made for those in need of chemo. Also prepared pretty gift bags with bows and tissue paper. All supplies donated to us by a local Cancer Association. All items made are donated locally to women in need at local Doctors and hospitals. What a fun day and we met new quilters also. I forgot to get a photo of the pillow but it looks like a stuffed make up bag. It felt so good to do something for ladies who are going though this difficult time.

Green Bay Packer Quilt

I made this for a friend who loves the Green Bay Packers. He and his wife moved from Wisconsin to Iowa and we became friends and did camping together in our RV. They still live north but we moved very south to the warmth. As they had sub zero weather most recently I thought he would enjoy this quilt. I already had made the Missouri Star design in blue for his wife a few years back. I had no pattern for this NFL quilt but left over pieces from another quilt I had made and found this football design that looked like football field. The back is a wood scene like you would see in WI and makes it reversible.

Throw Back Thursday Rag Flannel Quilt

I will be helping a friend soon to make rag quilts to aid women who will be going though chemo . I understand the rooms they have this in are very cold. My friend is getting supplies from a support group so all will be in pink with Cancer type logos. I wanted to test myself in doing this . I found some stash flannel in our donations at church that would work perfect so test run of our design pattern we will be using. This quilt in green will be donated to our Crafty Quilter church group either for the bazaar sale or our donations quilts going now to a Rehab Center for Veterans who can't otherwise pay for rehab and some Vets are also in need of rehab but homeless. I started on Thursday and finished it on Tuesday but no weekend work on this one. It goes together quickly however.
