It was a Busy Week! from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I recently shared some of the smaller quilts finished this week. We also had some larger lap quilts cross the finish line too.

This quilt top has been finished for a while, but it had to wait in the queue until it was needed. I had sent a fat quarter bundle to Jeanine and she sent me back some quilt tops. This is one of the RWB ones she did. The backing fabric came from Kat.

I have a big box filled with old fat quarters that were gifted to me years ago. I decided to pull some coordinating ones ...

Some Small Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Happy Blocks and Split 4-Patch Blocks

Some are from block drives, and some were tops received to complete.

All look amazing!

Marci sent in this quilt top. I love how she set her blocks in a very unexpected way. Thanks to Samantha, we had the perfect backing fabric.

This quilt was made from our Happy Block block drive we did a while ago. I had Janet make a bunch of small quilts that fit on a single width of fabric so I could quilt them all together. This was one of them. Someone sent in quite a bit of yardage ...

Some Scrappy Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

This week, a lot of the quilts we finished looked like they were all made from scraps.

It was a fantastic week!

Nann sent in this lovely quilt top made from lots of cross weave plaids. I sent if off to Laura, who quilted and bound it. It took us a whole to find a backing but Barb sent us this pretty fall colored one that looked great.

Here is a quilt made from some of Marci's super scrappy blocks. I love how it has a woven design to it. We made this one a bit smaller than usual ...

Whole Lot of Pink from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

The heart quilts are slowly getting put together. Some of these are going to be used for a secret project. It is only secret because I just haven't been able to tell you about it.

I really love how these are turning out. You guys did a great job with the low volume blocks. This one is the third one we have completed. Board Member Pam actually pieced this quilt top for us. Thanks to Jenny, we had the perfect pink backing - it has tiny loops and little hearts.

We are still working through some flannel squares we received ...

Sue's Quilts from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Every so often, I get a few big bags of finished quilts from Sue. She lives up in Washington and the quilts catch a ride with Margaret, who has occasional business here in Oregon.

I thought I would share what was sent in the last shipment.

They are not even labeled yet!

Love this scrappy bright quilt. The colors are so happy and vibrant. On the back is a Fisher Price fabric that really ties it all together.

This one is so cuddly! It has both a flannel top and backing. I love the diamond quilting Sue did on this ...

Finally some Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

We finally got some photos of some quilts taken. Time to share them with you...

My friend Karen wanted to burn through some of her batik scraps so she made three quilt tops out of squares with some vertical solid strips - each a different color. This one is the purple one. (The other two are blue and green.) We were finally able to use some of this gray, purple and yellow backing fabric we have had for eons. I think Deana picked it up from an estate. Local quilter Laura quilted and bound it.

Denice sent us this fun little ...

Some Friday Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Earlier this week, I shared some small quilts that were completed.

Today, I have a few finishes that are larger.

Earlier this year, I sent Jeanine a few pre-cuts we had in inventory and she turned them into quilt tops. She decided on the pattern and supplied the background fabrics. She made this one from a Charm pack. I love how it turned out.

Local Quilter Laura quilted this and sewed up the binding for us.

Whooo loves owls?! Kristin sent us this quilt top and the flannel backing fabric. Laura quilted some lovely hearts on it to finish it ...

This Week’s Littles from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Another nice productive week at Many Hands and Many Hearts.

We had a few little quilts that made it across the finish line.

This bright little quilt is literally just a panel that Nann sent us. I was initially going to sew on a border but I liked how it looked without it best. The backing also came from Nann and local longarm quilter Cindy did her quilting magic on it.

I have had this yellow and red ladybug binding for a long time and am happy it finally found it's home!

This sweet bird quilt top was donated ...

More Weekly Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Even though the temperatures are hot, we are already starting to plan for fall. That means flannel quilts will start to be completed.

I really love this all flannel one. Kristen sent in both the top and the backing. In fact, I think I was able to use some of the batting she sent us on this quilt too. I had a lot of fun quilting it - I loaded it on its side and quilted in some linear swirls and some squiggly lines.

Check out this big beauty. Nann donated the quilt top and the pink backing came from Karen ...

Mid Week Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Cindy sent in this lovely quilt top. I really love the colors - plum and dark mustard.

Cindy also sent in the purple for the backing.

A big thanks to local longarmer Kelly for finishing it up for us.

We just received this finished quilt from Julie. That bubblegum pink sure gives it a vintage vibe.

I always love to see quilts made from one of my patterns. This is one of my Scrap Mixology patterns called Chaser. I love how Sue put her colors together. It is so playful!

Martha sent in the red doggie backing fabric. We added some ...

Quilts for Veterans from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

There have been a few Veteran quilt reaching the finish line.

Today is the day I thought I would share them.

Cheryl sent in this fun RWB quilt. I love her diamond quilting.

All I had to do was add the label!

Check out this vantage sweetie. The giant 16 patch blocks came to us from an estate. I decided to put all the red and blue blocks together. We had just the perfect flag fabric to put on the back. It always feels good to finish someone's project and find it a home where it can bring comfort ...

Mid Week Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

We here at Many Hands and Many Hearts are still focusing on pushing through some of the quilt tops that were donated to us. A rather large queue of them were created when we were busy making quills from some block drives.

This blue, gray and taupe quilt top was sent to us from Denice. We had the perfect gray and taupe backing for it thanks to Dorothy. Local longarm quilter Laura finished it all up. It is unfortunate the photos of this quilt aren't that great due to the bright sun but it really is quite pretty.

Here ...

Friday the Fourth from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Happy Fourth of July!

Hope you have lots of family, friends and good food during your celebration.

When you have a dog, this holiday can be a stressful one. Sadly, my neighborhood gets a little crazy with fireworks - even though they are banned here in the city limits.

Arthur just had surgery to remove some cancerous lumps so I will have to work extra hard to keep him quiet. We don't want any pulled stitches.

One of the board members loves Tula Pink prints. She made this quilt top for Many Hands and Many Hearts. She also donated the ...

Some Veteran Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

It has been a while since I shared some of our Veteran finishes. I looked through all my photos and some must have gotten delivered without getting photographed.

I only have four to share today.

I am still using all the RWB scraps to make string blocks. Adding those to the blocks that are sent in by some of you, I could probably make about four of these quilts. The red and blue backing for this one came from Dorothy.

Larger RWB scraps, I cut into 5.5" squares and make some simple patchwork quilt from them. Pat sent Karen ...

Some Small Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Many Hands and Many Hearts saw many small quilts get finished or donated this week.

It seems like we photographed quilts every day this week!

Yvonne at Quilting Jetgirl sent in this bright and happy little quilt with her blue and red Scrappy Chain blocks. Her work is always so precise and creative. Check out the backing on this one!

Local longarm quilter Cindy snuck this fun little scrappy quilt in the bag of quilts she returned to us all quilted. These little quilts are a great way to use up some of those scraps.

This sweet little flannel quilt ...

Some Late Friday Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I am running a bit late with this post. Yesterday was a big fundraising event for Many Hands and Many Hearts so I have a ton of stuff to put away and organize. We did really well so I am hoping we will be able to get some items, like an up-to-date website, paid for.

Now for some of this week's finishes. We are still heavily focused on getting some of the donated quilt tops finished. Now that we don't have to worry about running out of batting for a while, we can hi these even harder!

Jungle Jam Quilt from Lovin' Life At The End Of The Dirt Road

Today I've got a baby quilt finish to share. It started with this bright jungle print I've had in my stash for over a decade. It's a magical jungle with unicorns and dinosaurs and walruses and horses mixed in with typical jungle animals, but when you're little, anything goes and I thought it was a cute print with fun primary colors. Plus, I remember it was in the clearance bin of 1

Finishes for Kids from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

There have been quite a few kid quilts getting finished lately. We are starting to stockpile quilts for delivery this fall and winter.

Kristin sent in this fun quilt top. I love the summery colors in the top. On the back is a lovely dark coral flannel with fun dots sent in by Karyn. Local quilter Cindy did the amazing quilting on it.

Kristin also sent in this cute little flannel quilt top and flannel backing. I sent this one off to Cindy for quilting too. Simple patchwork works so well for these donation quilts.

I haven't decided if ...

Sharing some Littles from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

I thought I would share some little quilts today...

The top on this quilt is just a panel that Nann sent to us. I didn't even add a border. I thought it looked great just the way it is.

Check out this cute quilt made from Happy Blocks. I would not have thought to group the colors like that - I like it! The label fell off, but I think Marci sent in this quilt top.

For the string quilt lovers...The strings on this one finish at 1/2". I think it looks amazing. Karen sent in both the ...

Mid Week Finishes from Quilting Is More Fun Than Housework

Boy, did I mess up on Sunday. I took photos for Oh Scrap! But the actually writing of the post completely left my mind. Sorry about that.

Arthur has been very patient with me and all the hours I have been working. So last weekend was all about him. He loved all the attention.

This quilt is actually one of my Rainbow Scrap Challenge quilts. I made these blocks ages ago. I really don't need any more quilts, so I decided to finish it and donate it to Many Hands and Many Hearts.

This scrappy quilt top was sent ...
