My Heart Quilt

First, I designed the quilt.

Had a hard time with the isosceles triangle. Drawing one is easy. Making a paper pattern is easy. Sewing them up together with the correct 1/4" seams.....grrrr!

Ta dah!! Just needs some batting and a backing.

I love it.

Finished by the St. John Quilters in San Juan, Texas.

One of the quilting groups that I belong to.

Day of the Dead Altar in a Cigar Box

I helped my favorite almost-daughter to make an altar out of a cigar box. We had so much fun dragging out all the shoe boxed full of feathers, sequins, miniature fruit and vegetables, ribbons, glue, and Day of the Dead related paper photos. What Fun!! In fact, my little friend said that coming to my house was like going into a Craft Store. I have everything in stock!!!

Other side of box, also decorated with fabric.

Ta dah!!! Photo is a little dark, but there is an oval photo of Our Lady of Guadalupe above the photo of Frida Kahlo, and a small mirror on each side.

Quilt Across Texas

Well, this Region 8 (Gulf Coast/South Texas) has 15 quilt shops participating, and none are in Deep South Texas. Boo Hoo!!!
You purchase a passport, visit all the shops and get your passport stamped, get a free quilt block pattern from each shop, and then you can enter their drawing for prizes. In order to enter into the Texas-wide drawing (for the big grand prizes) you must also visit quilt shops in other regions.  Well, that just about leaves us out.
We should start one down here and everyone must visit quilt shops (3?) and quilt shows at the various RV Parks!!! ( this is my idea and it is great! ! !)

Quilts for Charity

Our quilts are made up of 8"X9" blocks, 7 across and 11 down and they are tied. Our group makes about 500 a year. They are blessed and given to needy children.

Here are three quilt tops folded on my table.

This one is at the quilting bee, being pinned for final sewing.

Flag quilt for 9-11

I made this quilt for the "Piecemakers" quilting for charity. Here it is on my loveseat.

The other members ironed it and added batting and a back and tied the quilt.

All the members quickly finished the quilt and show it to the Pastor. (Our Saviour Lutheran Church)

It is now proudly hanging in the church, ready for Labor Day and 9-11.

Scarf #14-Shriver Scarf...11" done.

I am a slow knitter, and I had to teach myself to knit cables in order to make this scarf. Very easy, just slow.......and I like to speed crochet. Been busy making Quilts for Charity. Made 4 quilt tops. One last week and three this week. Saw my quilt being finished when I drop off the three on Tuesday. Took all my granddaughters with me so they can see where I spend my Tuesdays.
