picture glimpses of new quilts to come







Here are the pictures

GLIMPSES INTO FUTURE QUILTS

There are some pictues of quilt workings that will eventually make into warm covers to keep people warm at night. If you can make any of these and send one pieced, I have no problem in doing the quilting. The walking foot and I are best of friends.

More fabric arrives!!!!!!!!!!!!

We've started another scrap quilt, with wild colors, put in a bag and shaken and no matching allowed! I think it will look great. Also picked up some fat quarters today at a new quilt shop I visited, drooling over their long arm, and can't wait to put them into quilts in stages of progress!

Latest Quilt for the Pile Awaiting Homes


Thought those looking might be interested in seeing that we do have quilts that get finished! Sometimes it takes awhile, sometimes the colors are off, the thread colors are wrong, due to everything being donated, but in the end, they are WARM and hopefully bring a smile to the face of someone who needs it and another smile because now they know someone they don't even know cares about them......................

Here is an example of how tiny pieces can come alive; this was a gift for a dear cousin, but shows that the scraps that you throw away after projects, can really turn into something else.


We may not have the time, when making our "give away" quilts, to make elaborate pictures, but its just to show you that "small" and trash size pieces can have a 2nd or even 3rd life!

What little things can help


These are some of the little pieces that I assemble to make the recycled fabric with. Don't throw these in the trash, send them our way! Everything has a 2nd life, maybe even a third!

I guess I will continue this quest by myself; there don't appear to be a lot of helpful people out there in cyberspace willing to help those less fortunate than themselves. No one reads my blog or responds, so will just enjoy it by myself; and keep helping others..............ticia
