Hands2Help 2019 wrap up

Hello All !

It has been such a productive and inspiring challenge this year.  Every year seems to surpass the last in the number of participants and quilts donated.  It reminds me that the quilting community is such a generous one indeed.  Like many of you I see so many beautiful tutorials online and then think “I want to make all of them !😀”.  Then reality sets in and do what I can with time constraints.  I am however armed with a bucket list of  quilts I’m going to make as my schedule allows.  Fabric hugs ( quilts) are needed year round so I will use the inspiration I have gotten to make and donate a quilt a month.  That is my goal.  A huge thank you to Sarah and all the participants who gave of their time and talent to make Hands2Help a success!  I completed three quilts this year that have been sent to Emily.  I apologize for indoor pics but the rain just won’t quit.

Thank you again to everyone who participated!  Keep on quilting 😀

H2H and Birthday Crafting

I have been negligent in posting here and feel almost lost.  My intention was to check in more frequently.   I have obviously missed the mark but I have been busy behind the scenes just the same.  My dear grandson celebrated his first bday recently and I created three banners and a baseball score board to fit the baseball theme.

It all started with an inspiration picture from Pinterest and a  a request from my DIL about making  high chair banner.   Of course I was delighted to contribute and with her blessing made extras 😊.  

They came out nicely if I do say so myself.  I signed up for H2H again this year.  All the charities are such worthy causes and any excuse to use up scraps is a perfect reason to sew! Here is my first one basted made with some of my various blue scraps and the backing was left over yardage from my stash so it is a win win.  I have at least two more to finish and hope to finish those by the deadline.  Until next time....

Long time ... no post

It seems it has been forever since I visited this spot.  I have meant to post on several different occasions and didn’t because life got in the way.  I have done quite a bit of sewing and visiting with the grand baby when the schedule allows.  I have a few pictures to share of some of the quilts I have completed since my last post.  There is one baby quilt I still have to transfer pictures of from my old phone but here are the photos I have. There are bibs and pillows and divided baskets and also a swaddler  I didn’t get pictures of.  It has been a good year.  May 2019 be a year full of joy and good health for everyone!
