Christmas Cheer Kick-off

To-day was the Christmas Cheer Kick-off and we delivered 140 stuffed animals or dolls with their own quilt.  These will be given to needy children in our community from Santa and made with love from the Quilter's Guild.




There were three tables of stuffed animals so I took 3 pictures in order to get a good view of them all.  I think there is just about every kind of animal here as well as some dolls.
We had elephants, bears, bunnies, pigs, foxes, lions, and sock monkeys.
There were big animals and small animals in every shape and size.
Thank you ladies, a great job!!

Another Baby Quilt

My sister Carole asked me to make a quilt for a new great grandson.  She picked out the pattern and the fabric at a local quilt shop in her home town,  The theme is bunnies and I had to asked her to send me new fabric because one of the fat quarters was white with very pale bunnies on it.  It all blended together and was very blah so she sent me the fabric with peach in it and the polka dots.  I like the new fabric better. 


The bunnies are appliqued to the same fabric as the border.  You can see a little bit of snow on the deck.  We were in the middle of a snowstorm but I just had to take the picture outside.  There is also ice on the deck left over from the rain yesterday.

The backing is bunnies that tie the quilt together.

I also made a small quilt 20 x 20 inches for a small stuffed bunny to go with the quilt.

There was still a bit of leftover fabric so I made a bag to put it all in.
