Happy Friday quilters! I got a few quilts arriving recently gifted to CiL through this year's H2H drive from some lovely quilters.  Kathy W. sent in these first two very bright and colorful quilts.  

I always have a soft spot for "home" themed quilts, and I love these scrappy houses.

The next 3 quilts came from Kathy B.  She made one from the Jan/Feb string block drive blocks and two awesome patriotic quilts. 

All of the tiny, pieced blocks in this flag quilt are too cool. I love the overall effect. 

It's still incredibly hot here, I have to sneak out during a 30 minute window at sunset to take pictures without melting.

I've been brushing the cats to help with alllll the shedding.  So far they seem to have an endless supply of hair!

The cuteness just makes up for all the fluff in the air.

H2H Round Up #1

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.

Anita sent in this pinwheel quilt.

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!

Beryl sent in this huge sampler quilt.

Elizabeth K sent in this cool green quilt.

And last, for now, Linda M sent in these two beautifully quilted quilts.

Thank you ALL!
