Hands2Help 2020 - Meet Quiltygirl! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Welcome back to another week of Hands2Help 2020, and I hope you'll help me welcome another great guest blogger! Alycia blogs over at Alycia Quilts, and goes by the very cool name of Quiltygirl - so much better than "crazy quilt lady"! I think you'll enjoy learning a little more about her quilting journey, so I'll turn the blog over to her now - but be sure to stay with us until the end, when you can link up and share your Hands2Help progress!

Hands2Help 2020 - With Susan and her Scrappy Strippy Chevron Quilt! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Welcome back! I hope everyone is staying healthy and busy - there's certainly plenty to do these days, even if you are stuck at home. I know I've discovered hidden treasures in my own stash AND it seems like lots of folks have been cleaning and organizing, which means that I'm getting calls about t-shirt quilts more and more lately!

Today we've got another great guest blogger joining us - Susan of Stitched by Susan! I do hope you'll check out her blog - just a quick glance through her posts and you'll find so ...

Hands2Help 2020 - Smooches From Today's Guest Blogger Sandra! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Guess what? It's Sunday (if you're anything like me, that may come as news!) and that means it's time for another great guest blogger for this year's Hands2Help Challenge! Today we are so fortunate to be hearing from my friend Sandra Walker, who is a blogger, quilter, quilt designer, and practicer of yoga. In fact, she shared posts about yoga positions in the past and I learned that even I could do it - a great thing to know! But she's got a great tutorial for us today, and can tell you about herself ...

Have the days all started to run together for you, too? But surprise, surprise - it's Friday again! And that means it's time for us to get our whoop whoop on. Are you ready? Let's get started!

*&*&*&*&*&*&*

It's amazing how our perspectives on life change when something drastic happens - and this "social distancing" has been a drastic thing for almost all of us, hasn't it?

Hands2Help Comfort Quilt Challenge 2020!! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

"What does love look like?

It has the hands to help others.

It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy.

It has eyes to see misery and want.

It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men.

That is what love looks like."

Hi, all!

It seems fitting that with all the turmoil and confusion in the world these days, one thing is constant - the desire of quilters to make quilts to comfort those in need. So there's really no better time for us to join together once again than right now, when ...

Charmed, I'm Sure! Time To Sew!! from Confessions of a Fabric Addict

Hi, all!

Are you on "coronacation" where you are? We are - the grandkids are out of school, hubby is working from home, and me? Well, I'm still unpacking and working on getting my old house ready to go on the market, but I'm hoping to get some time to sew this week without as many outside distractions available!

And that segues right into the name of this week's Charmed, I'm Sure charm quilt - Time To Sew! I chose this name because the basic building block of this quilt is commonly called the hourglass block. You may ...

Hands 2 Help 2018 from Quilting Nonnie

Hello, quilting friends!

In December, I had a bad fall. It ended up with not being able to quilt for a long time. A week ago, my Physical Therapist okayed me to go back to action. Back to quilting! Back to swim aerobics! Back to leaning over to pick up something off the floor! Cautiously back to picking up things! Cautiously able to vacuum and other household chores, which I haven't even tried yet! Back to being able to do the dishes and empty the dishwasher! I'm so happy to have a clean kitchen again!

In consequence, my ...
