Sew Some Love

Welcome to the Sew Some Love linkup!  Please link-up any post about a project you're sewing for charity.


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
Jack's Basket - celebrating babies born with Down Syndrome
Kennel Quilts - small quilts for animals in need
Margaret's Hope Chest - several programs for children and adults
My Very Own Blanket - quilts for children in foster care
Ovarian Cancer Quilt Project - quilts auctioned to raise money for cancer research
Project Linus - quilts for children in the hospital
Quilts Beyond Borders -  quilts for poor children around the world
Quilts for Kids - quilts for abused and ill children
Quilts of Valor - quilts for veterans
Threading Hope - children and families in poverty and war torn countries

  2. My 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.

  4. Love 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.
