What We Are Working On

 Another wonderful afternoon was passed at our Prayers and Squares group yesterday. And we got lots done. We finished three more blocks for our fundraiser for next year. Unfortunately I wasn’t quick enough to get pictures of them. Marg finished this green sampler she’s been working on for the last month or so. It came in a kit with all the instructions for the blocks. The kits included the fabrics which were already cut. This is the third kit like this we’ve had donated to us. I’ve never seem them before. Marcia had finished the piecing on this quilt a few weeks ago. This is the leftover blocks from another kit that would have originally made a queen sized quilt. We got 2 quilts out of the one kit. She finished the quilting on it and Susan put a label and the ties into it yesterday. The ties are the physical representation of the prayers that are said for the recipients of the quilt. We pray for the recipients and tie a knot. The next 2 quilts also got labels and ties. Marg finished this wolf quilt back in the spring. And Elizabeth did this heart themed quilt. She used the quilt as you go technique to finish it. We’ve all been working on sampler blocks for a group quilt. We all chose a block whose name begins with the first letter of our first names from the Quilters Cache web site. We all used the same focus fabric. No specifics were given about the size of the blocks. It will be a fun challenge to put it together. Here at home I have finished the flying Geese pinwheel blocks. Hopefully today I will make progress on getting them sewn together and the borders started.
