Midweek: the joy of giving, and I Spy progress

 

On Tuesday I gave ten of my quilts to CTCA in Zion.  

The concierge and I took our masks off for the photo op. (I keep a mask in a ziploc bag in a pocket of my purse and had tor rummage around to find it.)


This is the tag that I pinned to each quilt.

I've donated 25 quilts this month.    I will take the wheelchair quilts I've finished (7 out of 13) to the March 1 guild meeting.   I have reduced the mountain of finished quilts to a hill.

In the studio:  I added a row to the I Spy quilt.  I auditioned several possibilities for the borders and in the end chose a combination that I hadn't expected.    









My plans for today have changed and I think I'll be able to finish piecing the back, get it basted, and begin quilting.   This is a commission quilt and I'd like to deliver it so as to have the money in hand when I go to QuiltCon next week!

  1. What a darling combination of fabrics for the backing, another element of I Spy as the child gets older and starts learning letters and numbers. The quilt tag is wonderful. Do you print it on paper?

  3. I like the label you attach to your donation quilts. You are so right about the joy of giving , not only our quilts but a measure of hope to those who receive them, that no matter how hopeless they might perceive their situation to be, that others still care about them.

  7. I really like the inner border on the I spy quilt, I need to push my border boundaries beyond "plain" because that works so well
