2021 Hands2Help Finish

 

Another year of H2H has come to a close.  This event is the collective efforts and brainstorm of the lovely SARAH of Confessions of a Fabric Addict.   It has evolved from very minimal, to sponsors, to quests, to pre-event tutorials.  Eventually finding reliable/most in need donation sites/groups.  When postage soared other ideas were presented.   Wow, 11 years now and I am always amazed how quilters come thru in times of crisis, needs of comfort, and community support.

I have participated since the start and then a few guild buddies joined in.  BUT this year we decided we would submit as a guild.  Our quilt drive for Services in our Communities is at the same time.  Even with Covid and lock downs these guys and gals come thru.

We are a small guild, but these folks  always excell when needed.  20 quilts were collected and donated to our local Family Services overseen by Catholic Charities.  They even supported the pillowcase drive for family Holiday boxes and placemats for Meals on Wheels.

Thank You Sarah for hosting another year and can't wait to see the final  count for the year.  Be sure to visit SARAH.

May 2021 OMG Finish

 

My goal for May was to take 'found' blocks and get them into a flimsy - meaning also borders.

I was surprised to find that stripe of white/aqua/brown buried on the shelf and it was perfect to finish this off.  Blocks no longer hidden, fabric no longer hidden (bonus in 'used up').  I have the binding made and in the pile of 'to be quilted' this one went.  I am still in search of decently priced backing.  OH, how prices on fabrics soared!

Linking up with OMG - please visit

Scrappy Wednesday

 

All of the Hobo  Train Blocks are made and I got a start on putting rows together.

 I found this fabric on the shelf and thought it looked like old railroad tracks/ties.  This is the sashing between rows.  I need to find something for the inner border and the outer border will be scrappy Homespun.

It's hot and sticky - been dry for too many days.  I hope it rains later today as it looks like it is brewing - all the plants could use a good soaking.

Sewingly Yours,

Sharon
