What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

Made by Doris

Where has the time gone?? I certainly didn't mean to let nearly the whole month of July pass without a post. I went on my family's annual beach vacation at the beginning of the month, so I knew I'd miss a week there. After that I'm not sure what happened! 

This week I am showing off quilts made by the ladies who volunteer their time and their machines to quilt tops for Covered in Love.  These first two are from Doris in Alabama. 

...and the last three came from Linda in Indiana.  Two ...

Happy Friday, quilters! Today I have the wrap up post for our Scrappy Mountains block drive. These first two quilts were assembled by Becky and quilted by Doris on her long arm. 

I loved this block drive, the design and the color scheme and all the quilts that were made! We ended up with a total of 9 quilts.

Quite a few of them got backings from this fabric line with the really deep blue and teal that coordinated perfectly with the blocks. This yardage was donated by my local quilt shop friend.

Speaking of block drives, I finally got ...

Happy Friday, quilters! I have more of the block drive potato chip quilts to show.  These first two quilts were assembled by Becky and quilted by Doris. Big thanks to those two ladies!

I love the classic patchwork look of these blocks and Doris did a great job with her quilting, as always.

I'm really fond of this yellow fabric with blue flowers on the backing. I'm pretty certain this is one of the ones my local quilt shop friend gave me when she closed her shop.

Big quilting swirls to complement the blocks. 

These last two quilts ...

Happy Friday, quilters! This week I have tops by Priscilla and quilted by three different quilters. This first one was quilted by me, I think the colors are really fun.

Next up, a HUGE disappearing nine patch quilted by Doris. This one is a really show-stopper. The colors are so coordinated it doesn't even look like a scrap quilt until you look close. 

Lastly, a jelly-roll-race style top quilted by Linda.  I like the effect of having the dark strips in the middle with the light ones on the outside.

Spring cleaning is in full effect here. I'm ...

Happy Friday, quilters! I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving and ate lots of turkey and pie. 

This week's quilts are tops made by Becky and quilted by Doris. Thanks so much to those ladies for their fabulous work.

It's been cold and wet here lately, winter has made itself known. The kitties are missing their porch time. Fudge will go outside for a few minutes and then come back in to warm up. 

I tried to have him wear his sweater the other day when it was particularly cold, but he pouted and refused to move ...

Happy Friday, Quilters! Almost a year ago 2 friends worked together to make 5 quilts top for CiL, they even shipped a bolt of fabric for backing. We seem to have finished all of Suzanne's quilt tops first, so Kathy's will be upcoming. This first one is Suzanne's top quilted by Linda. 

This next mosaic top was also made by Suzanne and was quilted by Doris on her long arm. Thank you to all our volunteers!! 

Becky M. has recently started to help with assembling blocks into tops and she's done most of the Scrappy Mountains ...

Hello quilters! Happy Friday.  I have two quilts this week from one of CiL's long arm quilters Doris.  This first quilts top was donated by Becky and then quilted by Doris. The second quilt is one of Doris' own that she donated to us.

How does time seem to pass so quickly? Summer is almost over and the nights are finally getting  cooler. Today is the kitty baby's estimated birthday and they are turning 7 years old. All of your quilts continue to be a blessing to families in the hospital. 

I love the wavy quilting panto on ...

Happy Friday, quilters! Sorry it's been a minute. Here are some Friday Finishes to make up for it. This first one was a top made by McGill, quilted by me.

Does anyone recognize that very punchy fabric line?

Next, another top by McGill quilted by Doris on her long-arm. Same fabric line I think? 

This striking red and white top was pieces by Erin and quilted by me.

I think I had some of this red fabric at one point? It looks awesome for such Simple design. The smaller stars are built out of the sashing and cornerstones.

Lastly ...

Happy Friday quilters! I hope you're all having a good week. The cold snap last week with 15 degrees overnight has been followed by lovely 80 degree afternoons here in Texas.

This week's quilts all came in from Heather a while back. This one arrived basted and partially quoted. The backing had folds in it and some stains, but I really liked the top, so I ended up picking the quilting & starting over with a new back.

This one was a top and a little bit smaller. About 50 in square. I quilted it up with a simple ...

Happy Friday, quilters! I have four quilts to show this week that were tops sent in by Jeanine and quilted by our stellar long-armers.  This first one with the batiks was quilted by Doris, who has sent in quilts in the past and recently volunteered to help finish some of our tops. Welcome Doris and THANK YOU!

Doris chose a pretty spiky swirl motif. I also need to call out Loretta who runs my favorite local quilt store, she donated the yardage that backed all of these tops!

This monotone blue top was also quilted by Doris with an ocean ...

 Happy Friday, quilters! This week we are celebrating Doris who sent in these 8 sweet baby quilts all finished and ready to go. 

This blue quilt had a corduroy backing that I especially liked. As you can see, Fudge was very helpful with the photo process. 

Doris has also recently volunteered her long-arming services to help CiL get some of our donated tops finished. This is so incredibly helpful to me, HUGE ...
