Since she first contacted me in early 2017 Kathy has assembled and quilted for Covered in Love, completing a total of 102 quilts! That's 14% of CiL's total quilts. She has also spent a lot of hours standing in the parking lots of CVS and Dairy Queen with me chatting about quilts, and nursing, and life in general.
Sandy P. sent in this bright turning 20 top. A lot has happened in the past 3 years, for both of us. Kathy now has two grandchildren she watches during the week who have hit full toddler stage. With the demands of full time grandparent-hood and two VERY active children Kathy's going to be taking a quilting hiatus until they get into preschool.
Kelly C. sent in this scrappy bowtie top. Running after toddlers keeps you young, as they say, but it is exhausting! So I'm wishing Kathy good luck and God Speed, and I hope you'll all hope me in giving her a massive thank you for the past 3 years of dedicated service to CiL!
This lady-goat and two of her friends ran away from home and tried to move in with us a few weeks ago. It took a really team effort to get the ladies back home as they had covered some 3 miles or more!
Covered in Love is a 501(c)(3) charity that donates quilts to patients dying in the hospital, over 600 so far! The Nov/Dec drive is going on now. Check out the main post HERE if you want to get involved.

Lots of scrappy goodness in your post today!
ReplyDeleteAwesome quilts AND quilting, Kat. Best of luck to Kathy C. with those grandkids!! What a wonderful helper she has been. 102 quilts quilted for Covered in Love?? AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteAll of these quilts are so lovely & will help warm the bodies & hearts of those who receive them.
ReplyDeleteHere's a VERY SPECIAL thank you to Kathy C. for every single stitch & every single minute she has put into those 102 quilts for CiL. I know it has been a joy & treasure to have her as your friend & someone who you can count on to help when you need it. Hope you two can still meet at CVS & DQ for visits & updates.
Awww....you've gotta love those strays that wander up! Glad you found where she belongs.
Beautiful scrappy quilts! I'm sure they'll be a comfort to the recipients. Cute goat on a runaway mission!?!
ReplyDeleteGreat quilts!! and the goat - too funny!!
ReplyDeleteA big round of applause for Kathy C and her over-the-top completion of 102 quilts for CiL. But grandchildren come first and I'll bet Kathy will be back to help once the little ones are older. Glad you were able to re-home the goat. Let's hope she doesn't make her wanderings a regular adventure.

Kathy's nine patches are super! I might have to borrow that pattern with the added triangles. So effective! And I love the bright colors in Sandy's piece. A quilt full of sunshine, for sure. And who can resist all the scrappy goodness of Kelly's bow ties? Instant classic! Many thanks to all three loyal supporters :)
