Summer Stitching

It's going to be a hot rest-of-the-summer. So sew! 

Here's what my sewing group has been working on for the hospital gift shop. It started as a learning project where we each made a block from the Underground Railroad era quilts and explained the meaning during our meeting. I put it together and did the scrappy strip board. Now it is ready for quilting. 

Yesterday my quilting neighbor and I delivered 25 quilts to go to the naval hospital. Believe it or not, there aren't two alike. My quilting neighbor has tons of flannel and I'm not fond of sewing with flannel. It's always a good mix of quilts for the kids and babies.

This is one of the patterns we each made. It's a four-piece block that sort of self sashes itself. I did mine scrappy and she did hers more planned.

We got a load of donation fabrics and went through them like kids and candy. This picture is with just one boarder. I did add more but can't remember what.

Happy Summer, Happy Quilting (and stay cool)
