Happy Friday, quilters! I have four quilts to show this week that were tops sent in by Jeanine and quilted by our stellar long-armers. This first one with the batiks was quilted by Doris, who has sent in quilts in the past and recently volunteered to help finish some of our tops. Welcome Doris and THANK YOU!
Doris chose a pretty spiky swirl motif. I also need to call out Loretta who runs my favorite local quilt store, she donated the yardage that backed all of these tops!
This monotone blue top was also quilted by Doris with an ocean waves sort of motif. Very appropriate for a sea-blue quilt.
CiL is in a really good place currently. Our three main hospitals are distributing are distributing about 5 quilts per week and really loving being able to include our quilts into their grief services.
This top is one of the ones finished by Sundance Quilting. I would call these '70s colors, with the teal and yellow-green. I used a really bright orange tie-dye on the backing.
Last up, this pretty heart quilt was also finished by Sundance. Almost by accident I picked this really pretty, flowy feather panto that worked perfectly.
Both of these last two were trimmed and bound by a local quilter, Bev, who has recently jumped in to help. Thank you, ladies!
I love when I can share some of the feedback we get from quilt recipients. Here is a sweet note I got recently from a lady whose husband passed.
Covered in Love is a 501(c)(3) charity that donates quilts to patients dying in the hospital, over 1500 so far! The July-Sept block drive is live now. Check out the main post HERE if you want to get involved.
Those are such beauties. Some people just have an eye for color & patterns & put them together so well. The quilting is truly gorgeous on these quilts. I'm so thankful for the help that you are getting with the quilting phases of the quilts.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the note from Jeanette & her appreciation of Covered in Love. Notes like that really show just how CiL is touching families during their worst times in life.
So glad to hear that Doris is helping with some of CiL's quilting! She did a gorgeous job on Jeanine's lovely, colorful tops. And that wonderful hand-written note says simply why we give our talents to the cause. Thank you, Kat, for sharing it.
