Some Good News! from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

Recently, my friend Darlene and I each donated a couple quilts to a health organization for a silent auction.

For me, this was a test run to see if they would sell and be wanted. Not everyone is into quilts .... I know, I know .....

Anyway, they all sold and for the highest bidding prices! Woohoo!

These were the quilts that I donated.

Considering that hubby is using our health system more these days, it was a good cause to donate to. I will have a couple more for next year.

Regarding hubby, he is falling less these days .... which I ...

Donation top from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

Do you remember seeing this photo with these blocks?

Well, this is what has been done so far with them. The block size went from 6-1/2" unfinished to 9" unfinished with the addition of triangles on the sides. Applique is being added to the blue squares. They just didn't look right without the applique.

Hopefully, this will be a finished top by the end of this week and I can add one donation top done this month for the Chookshed Stitchers Challenge.

Cherish your day, cherish your life!

Donation quilts from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

How lovely to be handing off these quilts for the Women's Shelter in a nearby town.

A baby quilt.

A lap size. There are more nine patch blocks sitting in a bin that can easily be made into more like this quilt.

My friend Darlene had these in her closet and she gave them to me for the shelter. Both are lap size.

This quilt has flannel patches on one side and denim on the other, no batting. Perfect for a boy.

So good to give to others coming from an abusive situation.

Cherish your day, cherish your life!

Quilts for Kids from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

Another Winding Trails top using the pattern by Karen Griska Quilts. I'm on a roll making kids quilts. This will be a donation quilt for a women's shelter in a neighbouring town. Personally, I think it is ugly .... but a child will love it. I'm anxious to see this quilted up because a quilt changes once quilted. My LAer has just finished quilting it and it just needs to be picked up.

Now, this top I love. Berry Smoothie by Villa Rosa Designs and it also will be going to the same place. This top used up ...

First UFO off the list! from Applique 'n Patch Quilting

I'm so happy that this UFO is done! It nearly got finished at the begging of the new year ..... but I got sick again with another cold and then ..... gasp ..... I broke a front tooth! Not a good beginning to the new year at all. So, nothing was done to finish this UFO off until a few days ago as my comfy chair and TV called to me instead.

Not only do I have this top done, but there is a second one almost done too. Just need to add borders. That top is laying on the bench (at ...
