Happy Friday! I'm the happiest of all, I bet. I worked long days at the hospital this week and I am beat, you guys, so this post is going to be a lot of pictures. Hands 2 Help has been a huge blessing to CiL this year already. Here's a rundown of some of the quilts that have arrived so far. Laura sent in this huge modern triangle quilt which as already gifted to a pregnant woman who lost her husband.
Doris said she adopted the one on the left as an orphan WIP from Diann at LittlePenguinQuilts. The one on the right was a top from her friend Nancy, both intended to be finished for donation. Doris finished them on her longarm and CiL is the lucky recipient!
Amber sent in these two quilts. I especially like the one on the right with the interesting shapes and the rainbow colors.
Carol made this huge, beautiful batik quilt in ocean tones.
Becky, a fellow Texan and nurse, made a little bit of a drive to meet me one day and deliver a LOAD of goodies. Three finished quilts, four that only needed binding, and about 17 tops with binding and backing.
Becky's haul included several quilts well suited for men.
I quickly finished the 4 that only needed binding, to add to the 3 that were done.
These two patters are so interesting to look at next to each other.
Odd one out I photographed last. I love the batiks!
Kathy W sent in this batik and the super cool flaming quilt. I'd like to get to know the person who matches to that one!
Adele D sent in these great masculine quilts and the star quilt below.
Karen M sent in these 4 really nice quilts.
I especially love these masculine quilts. the quilting on the one on the left is amazing!
Covered in Love is a 501(c)(3) charity that donates quilts to patients dying in the hospital, over 700 so far! During May/June Tammy is hosting our block drive on her blog. Check out the main post HERE if you want to get involved.

ReplyDeleteI somehow missed this wonderful post last week. I love them all & it's so hard to pick a favorite. I'm really drawn to the cool green quilt. I love the fact that you will accept quilts at all stages in their lives. I'm so thankful to all who have helped with CiL in all the various ways.
