Quilt Photo Review Year 6

Starting with the ART QUILTS

One Yellow Square

10" x 10"

This was my first quilt of the year.  Weird as it seems, I actually drempt about a quilt with 'one yellow square'.  The next day was Friday.  This fit the current Fast Friday Fabric Challenge.   It has changed my direction toward working with fabrics instead of painting, dying, etc.

11 Totes/Bags

This was a FUN experiment making these out of a sample book of water repellent outdoor fabric.  I got bored near the end.  However, I am happy with the results.  I think these will make great travel bags for friends.

I have a quilting friend whose husband is a Pediatric Oncologist.  Thus, I am making Chemo Quilts for some of these children who are treated at his clinic.  I am also trying to entice others to make quilts for this very worthwhile cause.  Anything that I can do to help a child during the treatment process brings me great JOY. I buy fun flannel for the backing.  I usually ask for help from Mothers with children so that it is something children might actually enjoy.

With so many in need, this year saw me making pillow cases for the first time ever.  I am told it is comforting for a child to have a special pillow case.  The following were all made for Sandy Hook.  Because Sandy Hook had so many hundreds when I was ready to mail my offerings, my 16 went instead to children in the hospital for a serious stay.  This is an on-going charity project in our state.

My on-going project is making unique individual name tags for everyone in my Quaker Meeting that wants one.  I take a box of fabric.  After Worship, each person picks the fabric they want.  No two will have the same fabric.  It started slowly; now it has become very popular.  I especially like the fact that our young people appreciate this gesture.  It seems to make them feel more like they belong to the whole Meeting, not just the youth group.
