Happy Friday, quilters! Spring is blowing in with a fury here this week. Hopefully we won't blow away!
All the quilts I have to show you this week are from Tina C. She usually sends 2 completed quilts every month or two. You all know that completed quilts are my favorite kind!
This brown toned sampler is my favorite in a while. I love the interesting blocks and the wavy quilting. The fabrics are wonderfully textured crossweaves and linen-like.
I've been busy this week. My wonderful local quilt shop is closing :( and Loretta has donated dozens of bolts of fabric to CiL. I've been organizing everything and packaging some to ship to Louise and some of the more kiddy stuff to ship to Cynthia at Many Hands Many Hearts.
I am really going to miss my LQS! She had great prices and selection just ten minutes from me, and a great eye for color. Loretta helped choose the fabrics for many of my projects.
The icing on the cake is Joann's closing at the same time. I prefer to buy my fabrics in person so I can see and feel them, but I guess I'm grateful that buying online is an option. Anyway, with all the fabrics Loretta donated, CiL is all set for a while.
Thank you, Tina and Loretta! Hug your LQS owner if you have a good one.

Covered in Love is a 501(c)(3) charity that donates quilts to patients dying in the hospital, over 1600 so far! The Jan-March block drive is live now. Check out the main post HERE if you want to get involved.
Such gorgeous quilts! I love how each block in the first one has a matching, mirror image one somewhere else in the quilt. Very clever!
ReplyDeleteHow generous of Loretta to donate fabric to Covered in Love. Sad to see so many quilt shops closing. On of ours is closing soon, but there are still 3 more within a half hour of my house. I'm trying to shop my stash first since I have so much fabric, I'm not getting any younger and I won't live forever.
ReplyDeleteI really love that first quilt of Tina's. I love the soft look of the fabric colors. It's sad to hear about your favorite quilt store going out of business. When my local shop closed down many years ago it was like I had lost a longtime friend. How very kind of Loretta to donate so many bolts of fabric to CiL. Louise, sharpen up your needles & oil up your machine, it sounds like you are going to busy with some of those new bolts of fabric. :)

Beautiful quilts. Right? Two stores at once hurts - we also had a quilt shop close , right after our Joanns....
