H2H Checking In

Today is check in and show your progress on H2H Charity Quilt Challenge 2014.  I decided to make three quilts one for each charity.

Quilt #1 - Quilts of Compassion

Finished and mailed

They are getting ready to deliver quilts to the south where the tornados hit few weeks ago.  They are in need of 1500 quilts.  If you can help and need information contact me and I can get you in touch with them.

Quilt #2 - Hurricane Sandy Survivors

will mail next week

Quilt #3 - Happy Chemo

Top is finished.  I need to quilt it.  I hope to have it completed next week.

I hope you go over to Confession of a Fabric Addict and see what everyone else has done.  You will be inspired.

Happy sewing.

May Updates

I am not sure which is my leader/ender project but both quilts are nearing completion.

Here is my progress on Good Night Irene sew along.  I haven't sewn as quickly as others but I am gaining on Irene becoming a quilt.  I know she need a few more rows before she gets a border but I am not sure just how many more rows I will add.  I still have lots of 2.5" squares to pick from.

This is my third quilt for H2H charity challenge.  Please go to Sarah's on Sunday and check out everyone's progress.  My windspinner quilt is coming along very nicely.  I am going to add another row and then decide if it is finished.

My other two quilts are finished.  Come back next week to see how everyone H2H quilts are coming along.  I hope by then my Windspinner quilt is almost completed.

It is a Purple Day

April Scrap Happy color is Purple.  I don't have very many purples in my stash.  I did make one string block.

But I did have the project just waiting to be made.  Four lovely purple fabrics.   They are not bright purple fabrics but am pleased with the results.  I found this supersize shoo-fly tutorial at Sew Mama Sew and gave it a try.  Just one block is 35" square.  I can see some baby quilts in the future with one block.  This was quick, easy, and fun.

This quilt will be a birthday gift for a friend.  I just need to get it quilted.

Happy Easter.

Hands 2 Help

Hands 2 Help Charity Challenge 2014 has begun over at Sarah's Confessions of a Fabric Addict.
There are three awesome charities that you can send quilts to.  It is not to late to sign up for this challenge.  I have started on my quilts.  Here is one of the three quilts I plan to make and give.

This week is sharing tips, tutorials and tasty things.  I thought I would share something tasty.  My new favorite is Ranch Snack Mix.  You can find the recipe at food.com.  This is quick and easy.

I hope you will visit over at Sarah's to check on the three charities and all the fun this challenge can be.

Friday Checking In

Here are a few of the projects I have been working on.  I only made one teal block for rainbow challenge.  I need to find some more teal fabric in my stash.  I still need to make a house block.  This block will go into my Goodnight Irene quilt.

This prayer quilt was sent to a lady going through ovarian cancer.

This quilt is a housewarming gift for a good friend.

Here is a baby quilt that I need to finish quickly.

See I have been sewing.  I hope everyone will drop by Angela's rainbow scrap challenge and Sarah's Whoop Whoop Fridays to see what everyone has been working on this week.  You can find their button on the side of my blog.  Happy sewing.

Good Night Irene Sew-Along

Irene was on my design wall and she grew.   I decided I want my Irene quilt larger so I added two more blocks.  I finally got the second row of Irene done.

I needed my design wall cleaned off and Irene went back into the box for a couple of weeks.  This sew along has been fun.  If you want to see more Goodnight Irene's stop over at Terry's Treasures.

Have a sewing day,
Karen
