Donation Quilts

 I finished some more baby quilts for donation lately and have taken them to my guild so they can be taken care of.  Probably most of the baby quilts we make go to "The Family Place" which helps new parents.

I didn't buy any of the fabric, except for the green fabric that I used for the backing on the pink quilt.  All the fabric was either given to me by a friend, or from the guild.  They passed around a box and said to take some 5" squares, so the is what I used for the pink quilt.

This one was just a piece of fabric, batting & backing to take home and put together & finish

I got the green fabric at my favorite thrift shop and it was quite a deal!  There was about 4 yards, so I still have some available to us on another baby quilt.  

I also donated a large twin size quilt that I made with a almost million 2 1/2" squares.  This picture doesn't show the whole quilt because I didn't have a chance to hang it up anywhere.

I will have 3 quilts hanging in the quilt show in June - Quilts in Bloom - in McMinnville on June 20 & 21.  I changed my volunteer work from Saturday morning to Friday Afternoon because there is something else that I want to go to on Saturday.  

Hope you are enjoying good weather where you are and thanks for visiting.       

BINDING BLITZ REPORT FOR JULY!

Today I have 2 quilts to report for the binding blitz that Julie has each month.  I will link with her as soon as she does her final post for July.  Both of them are donation quilts.

This one will be donated through the quilters' guild that I belong to - it goes to the hospital for a baby.

The next one is a string quilt that is larger for an older child and I will donate it to a local outreach.  I hope a teen-ager will like it.  

This will be my last one with the cow fabric backing.  It wasn't quite enough, so I added the plain green fabric.  The binding is scrappy, but mostly it's green and the vary-colored fabric.

Thanks for stopping by!

DONATION QUILTS FINISHED

This morning I finished binding on two donation quilts that I have been working on.  They will go to children's hospital for older kids (one boy and one girl) in the ICU.

Pinwheel quilt for girl made out of leftover HSTs.  The back is a piece of very nice fabric from an estate sale.

Ohio Star quilt for boy - made out of repurposed men's shirts.  The back is men's shirt fabric that I got in a thrift shop.

It always feels good to finish something.  These will be taken to my guild meeting next week and in January or February will be donated  in memory of one of our former members who was a doctor there.  She's the one who got us started making quilts for the ICU and it was a passion of hers.

I'm almost finished with my Christmas ornaments and will be posting them soon.  How are you doing on your short list?
