Oh I got these done just in time!! My original stretch goal was 3 for each charity, but I only have 2 for each. I'm quite happy with that. Six quilty hugs I'm sending out for this years drive. First up is Happy Chemo - 2 quilts, "Hi" from Nov/Dec 2013 Quilty magazine. Fabrics are a few from Glimma collection and others from my stash. Pantograph is Tea Lights by Patricia Ritter. The other is a tumbler quilt, fabrics are Botanique (Joel Dewberry) and a new panto on this one, Aztec Wave by Patricia Ritter.

Next is Quilts of Compassion, 2 quilts. One is a tube quilt the other is Posy Patch from an Amy Ellis book. I did custom quilting on the tube quilt, simple lines in the white and then one each for the colored squares. I used Fanfare Pantograph by Patricia Ritter (I guess I really like her stuff!!) on Posy Patch
