Charity Quilts

We have had bad weather all week. Snow and ice in
mid-week and very, very, cold. So, to ward off those
winter blues; I did my charity quilts this week ~
for my Guild ~ The Red Rose Quilters Guild.
Move QOV strippy blocks which go very fast.


I also found a block I liked very much at Quilterscache.com;
it's called Aunt Dinah:

I also finished more of the applique blocks for the Breast Cancer Quilt:

I love this block - although there is a mistake in it but I won't
say where. (-: I'm thinking of adding some embroidery around
it. You can faintly see the line in the back of a heart shape. That's
where I'll probably put some embroidery stitches. Here's where
I found the pattern: Craft and Fabric links.

This one is called Posy Folk Art and I found the pattern here:
Patch Pieces

This one I think is really cute. I might embroider some eyes.
Here's where I found this pattern:
Bella on Line


I'm satisfied that I had a very productive week! Now the forecast
for Tuesday is "we may have another winter storm"! ugh
Good thing I have a list of things "to do".
Is it spring yet?

Tis The Season

December 21 Equinox

Winter Solstice - a time of rejuvenation and rebirth.
A time for Love, Forgiveness and Charity.

Light returns to conquer the darkness.

May the Yule log burn,
the wheel of life turn,
evil be spurned.
The sun has returned!

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year!


Between shopping for gifts and wrapping them; I'm
appliqueing blocks for our guild's ~
The Red Rose Quilters Guild
~ Breast Cancer raffle
quilt. Participants were given pink 6 inch squares
and we are to make a finished 8 inch block.

I wanted to make blocks that were cheery and fun.
So I chose a Sunbonnet Sue
and a Sunflower
These are free patterns that you can find on the web.

Now that my nephew's red, white and blue quilt is
finished; I will add the label on tonight. Last night
I made 2 hot-dog pillowcases to match. They are
very easy to do and take less than an hour to make.

Will I have the time to bake cookies this Christmas?

Will Santa bring me a new Digital Camera?
