This week I fired up my quilting machine again for the first time since May. So good to get back to it! I quilted one of the Red White and Blue Stars block drive quilts and photographed the process for a tutorial about how I baste quilts using glue sticks.
See those cute little penguins in the block above? The star quilts are coming together and I can't wait to have the whole bunch all finished!
Some Quilt Charities:
Books and a Blanket - quilts for needy children in central Texas, promoting literacy
Covered in Love - quilts for mourning families

Keep that quilting machine purring, Kat!! Looking forward to seeing that stack of Star Quilts.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fabric but you already knew that! I will use them anywhere I can! I loved your glue tutorial!! You make it look also easy but basting a big quilt is so challenging for me. Thanks for a new way to try.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link party and all the information on all the charities. There were a few I had not heard of before. Andrea
ReplyDeleteLove the penguins in the block. I need to get more bold/creative & do things like that. I'm such a "go with the flow" type person & don't get to far away from the box.
