four more for Children's Advocacy Center

Image
Our 4-5 person library quilt group meets every second and fourth Tuesday. We have made and delivered more than 130 assorted-sized kid's quilts to the local Children's Advocacy Center. We have at least a dozen more done, and yesterday I bound these four as well.

Made more hats for Cheyenne River Reservation - all (but one) made from donated baby yarn in yellow or blue, and leftover sock yarn - the ends after socks were made.

http://twiggyandopal.blogspo t.com/2018/07/it-wouldnt-s top-growing.html  Someone donated a big bag of trimming scraps to our library quilting group. Even though they are scraps, I can cut a number of one-and a half inch strips from each piece. Someone else donated a big bag of items to our local senior center. They also have a quilting group, but they didn't want these pieces. They included the white sheeting that you see here - old, but still strong.  This pattern is paper-pieced, and even though I have made a number of errors, I think they are looking good.

Zoe helped me finish tracing the flowers and peeling the paper. The top is finally one piece!

Finished my navy, burgundy, and gray trousers last week (finally!) If I look harried, it's because my 4 grandkids were all here today, and the youngest is teething (2 Yrs old) Also finished my multi-colored sweater (though we sure can't use it right now - except for INDOORS, because my husband is always much warmer than I am)
