The BIGGEST finish!!

Quilts for Kids

Wow!  I am so happy to have these quilts done, along with some quilty friends that helped!  There are 20 quilts on the fence!  Seven of those were made by the quilty friends and thirteen were made by me.  I have plans for more but I have to put them on hold so I can get some Christmas sewing done and give my left arm a rest!  I did too much and brought on a case of tendinitis in my left elbow...

I also knitted a bunch of hats in the last month too!  There is one more that is done but did not make the picture.

And finally today I am delivering the quilts and all the other donations I have collected in the last few months.  This is how full my Escape is and I still have one more pick up to make! 

And now for all the Thank You's!!!

Many Thanks go out to...

Thank you Kris...

I also asked my friend, Kris, if she would make a quilt or two for the KIDS.  I gave her some fabric and she made three quilts!  Thank you so much, Kris!!   Kris and I both learned we don't like working with panels!  Even though Kris doesn't like working with them, the quilts turned out beautiful!

These three bring us to a total of 16 finished quilts so far!  My goal is 24 quilts and I don't know if I will make it.  I had to take some time off...I sewed so much that my left shoulder, elbow and wrist were so painful I almost could not use them!  I was back at it last week and I have 4 quilt tops ready to be quilted and bound but I have to stop for a bit to make a quilt for a new baby in the family!

The Trickster's Finish...

The Trickster made a birdhouse in Tech Ed...

It has some special features that you don't see on most birdhouses...

It has a skylight...

And "indoor Plumbing"!  He added a toilet inside the birdhouse!  Leave it to a seventh grader to think of that one!

Thank You, Donna J!!

Guess what came in the mail today?! 

 A quilt from Donna J!

(ha ha, I made a rhyme!)

Donna J sent this for the kids at Wanblee...

Here it is...

And the back...

Isn't it so cute?  It is completely made of flannel and its so soft and cuddly, the child that gets it is going to love it!

Thank You, Donna J...your quilt is greatly appreciated!

Thank You Marcella!

Three more quilts are completed for the kids!  I asked my friend, Marcella, if she would make a quilt or two if I gave her some fabric to work with...she ended up using some of her stash to compliment what I sent and the quilts turned out adorable!

Thank You Marcella!!!

As of today there are 10 quilts completely done...
I have one quilted and ready for binding...
Two tops need to be basted, quilted and binding added...
Then I will be making more tops and starting all over again!  The goal is a minimum of 24 quilts!

Quilts for kids progress..

I started making quilt tops for the kids on the Wanblee Reservation last Wednesday...Wow, have I been busy!  I made seven quilt tops, quilted seven quilts, made a whole bunch of binding and fully finished one quilt with binding!  I did find two completed tops and one already quilted top in my stash so when all the basting, quilting and binding is done there will be a total of ten quilts made in about ten days!  And I plan on making eight more in the next week or so!

This is the only one with binding at the moment, but that will change this weekend!

These are the other seven that are quilted but waiting for binding.  I have two more tops that need basting but I ran out of basting spray!  I will be getting more tomorrow after my daughters last Cross Country meet and a trip to Joann's...
