Charity Quilts 2019

I had an obligation to provide some quilts for our small group charity, and I wanted to finish up some of my fabric stash. What came of it is fairly unimaginative. I loved putting the colors together, and the blocks went together quickly. The quilting was easy, and great practice.

As I look at the quilts, I am bored, and I know they reflect the joylessness of doing something you should do for love, but you’re doing it for duty.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

They are all approximately 40″ by 56″- big enough to snuggle under while reading.

Comfort Quilt

This is a quilt made for a friend whose husband is suffering a relapse. She is strong in her faith, and at the same time, it is hard to watch a loved-one suffer, especially someone you’ve lived with for a long time. I made a quilt that can be used for reading, or for chemo, or for whatever. It is a quilt that can be washed, and washed, until it is a rag. It is a quilt meant to be used, very simple pattern, 9-patch alternating with a focus fabric (my friend is a birder)
