Quilt projects for 2011

Things have been busier than ever in the quilting department since the first of the year. Our guild helped tie baby quilts two different times, and I think we made about 24 quilts. We took some to Monticello and some to the Blanding hospital.

We also worked on two patriotic quilts. One for the 4th of July Raffle, and one for the Quilt of Valor.

We made the blocks at the weekend workshop, and finished the Valor quilt March 8 at a mini workshop at our home.

In addition our guild paid for a quilt top and had it quilted for the ROTARACT club. They made about $900 for the Breast Cancer Foundation.

Wedding Quilts

Over the past 20 years I've made many quilts for weddings, starting with my own children, and then for extended family and friends. Here are some of the ones I've made. This Cheater Quilt (printed fabric to look like it's pieced) was made for Brian and Susie Bayles. I'll always remember the evening that Suzie's family and Brian came over to help tie it. There were at least 4 guys who had never tied before. There was some wild stitching going on! Afterward I spent several hours, redoing the tangeled threads on the back, and removing strange stitches. But the fun was worth it!!
