It must be the first Monday of the month...

We are creating comfort quilts today!

We are making comfort quilts from

 donated fabrics

for members of our community...

disappearing patch quilt top...

Ralph, the Quilting Kitty

keeps our fabrics warmed up for us!

We are also creating another 

raw edge heart quilt...

The blocks are done,

we are now piecing them into rows...

The first disappearing 9 patch 

quilt top is complete...

The quilters are tying it...

Tools of the Trade

Karri is piecing a back for the next quilt 

to be tied...

Linda continues piecing the heart blocks...

She has the inner and outer 

borders pieced...

It is amazing what you can put together

with donated fabrics...

Next month we will machine quilt

this heart baby quilt...

Comfort Quilt......Frayed Edge Hearts 2

Day 2

Today we will continue working on the

Sweet Treasures My Love

Frayed Edge Heart Quilt

This is where we left off last month...

16 frayed edge heart blocks completed.

Today we sewed on all of the 

corner triangles

and pieced the blocks together.

Lani is preparing the 

dark blue inner border.

Claudette chose this large print floral

for the final border treatment.

Here is the quilt sandwich basted and 

ready to go under the needle.

It is FUN to see an un-quilted 

close up view...

Then check out what it looks like with a bit

of machine quilting on it:

I was only able to quilt for about a half 

hour today, but I managed to get the 

bottom row quilted.

Next week I will get it 

under the needle again!

Comfort Quilt......Frayed Edge Hearts 1

We have gathered together to create a

comfort quilt for someone dear to us...

Day 1

We are using this Sweet Treasures pattern:

My Love

The hearts have been cut in 3 sizes...

The hearts are then layered...

The hearts have been stitched 

onto the background...

Triangles are stitched to all the corners...

We are using 16 heart blocks 

for this lap quilt...

By the end of the day...

We have 44 heart blocks in progress.

This will be enough to create 2 lap size quilts

and 1 baby size quilt.
