RAFFLE ANY ONE?

Ok well not donating any quilts in 2013 lasted all of 9 days.  My son-in-laws co-worker has been accepted to go on a missions trip in a couple of months and needs to raise money for her airfare.  What better way than raffle a quilt.

Here is one I just finished so I donated it for her to raffle.  If you know anyone interested raffle tickets are $2 each and I donated the funds to ship the quilt to the winner.   It covers a queen size bed nicely and is all 100% quilt shop batiks and quilted using 30 wt. gold polyester.  The reverse is black

Email if interested in tickets and pass along to your friends.  Zhillslady1@yahoo.com. 

MORE COMING SOON

Sorry I haven't been blogging much but my eyes have been acting up so I sew when I can but tend to ignore the computer more.  I have a couple of round robins that I finally quilted and one I finished for myself so I'll be posting them soon.  Watch for the pics.

Well here's the pic of my broken juki.  I some how cracked the thread take up lever and used a 4 cent wire tie to hold it together until I can get te part from Japan.  I have been quilting all the tops I have ready for myself and friends while the piece is holding.  Once it breaks thats all she wrote.  

In the meantime sorry you haven't seen more pics of finished projects.  I'm having an eye problem so not getting much done.  I do have a couple of round robins I'm quilting and one scrap quilt that as as soon as I get the binding done I'll post pics.  So don't give up, more pics coming soon. 

2 MORE READY FOR NEW HOMES

I wanted to make quilts for some family friends for some time now.  After I finished the ladies dessert donation quilts I finally had time to do that.  I can't wait to deliver these to their new home.  The Slideshow is a simple pattern I've always liked.  It's a little time consuming but very pretty in any color.   I made the white first then tried to decide what to do for the husband.  I decided to make the same pattern in black and wow was I glad.  They are both beautiful but dark, bold colors are my favorite.   I hope they love em.    The camera did not do them justice. Oh and they both have my new signature pieced backs.

Next are the door prizes for the dessert then back to some charity quilts for local guild.

LADIES DESSERT 2012

Once again I'm hosting a double table for the Faith Life ladies dessert this year and I agreed to donate 2 quilts for the raffle again.  I liked the bento so well that I redid that in Christmas colors and then the other is my design using different blocks with the same colors repeated throughout.  The picture did not do that one justice.  The gold fabric in it is beautiful.  I hated cutting it up.   Both of these will be raffled at the dessert.
