More Finishes

Our Guild does a lot of charity work and one of the news charities that we give to is called Precious Bundles.  This is a group who give quilts to those who need them for newborns or small children.  I used up some of my fabric that was leftover from my Charlie Brown Christmas quilt and made a small quilt for Precious Bundles.  I bought the blue and yellow fabric in Montreal on our last trip.

When we were in Tallahassee I bought great children's fabric at Hobby Lobby, so I made another small child's quilt.

My sister-in-law Judy gave me the following fabric a number of years ago and I couldn't figure out to do with it until I came across this pattern and it fits quite well.

The fabric features all quilting motifs.  I had to turn some sideways but it makes the quilt usable at any angle.

This quilt was in a book that I got for Christmas that uses pre-cuts so I used scraps.  A small lap quilt for one of the homes for the aged.

Two More Finishes

I made a small donation quilt over Christmas.  It is called "Our Neighbourhood".  The quilt is made up of squares that look like little houses.  I found it on Moda Bake Shop.

The second quilt I finished was "A Charlie Brown Christmas".  My daughter bought me the kit from Nancy's Notions for last Christmas and I hated to cut into it because I had to cut up the panel and make the squares 5 1/2 inches when they started out to be 5 x 7  rectangles.  I struggles on and finished it.

It is 49 x 57

The backing for this quilt was very special.  Lynda went to Portugal last year and I wasn't able to go because of a medical problem and I couldn't get insurance so I asked her to bring me back some fabric. 

Portuguese fabric.

It was 60 inches wide so I didn't have to piece it.
