What a great start we had. Our first get together was a cutting day. Quilts planned, quilts cut, quilts sewn and even a finish, yep that's right a finish. I've decide to use my Good Fortune for the care giver quilt drive. Honestly, I have a basket of Bonnie quilts all with the same color, I don't need another! So that will go in the mix. I'm really into the big block quilts this year!
This top has been in progress for at least 5 years. We've been using the little two patches as leaders and enders for a few years now. This beauty is what became of all that work. I love it and can't wait to quilt it. It's going to be a little cozier down there this year since Loretta joined us. I've got 6 machines set up here and one over by the long arms (the time out machine). If we have to we can set up some machines up stairs.
Have you signed up yet for Hands 2 Help? Check out the side bar and go take a look. New causes this year, so many to choose from, so much love to spread. Not only do you get that warm fuzzy feeling from spreading some quilty love but she's got prizes!!!! Good prizes too, so get on over there and sign up for a quilt or two or four :)
