Another Wrapped In Hope quilt … this is the third quilt I have donated to this wonderful program.  I finished it yesterday and am sending it off today to its new owner. This quilt is for Christian from California, who likes Spider-Man and books.  Perfect!  I already had the Spider-Man material in my stash, which I’d purchased a couple years back.  I alternated the 6-inch squares with red, white & blue Hourglass blocks.  So simple, but what a great design!  Do you see the secondary design the blocks create … the white star? I’m also sending Christian a couple of Spider-Man coloring books with his quilt.  Happy Birthday, Christian! My quilting buddy Mary also made a Wrapped in Hope quilt.  Here we are right before our guild meeting in the community center parking lot.  Her quilt has butterflies and a pretty pink flannel backing.  Perfect for a sweet young lady! Another week has come and gone … can you believe it?!...

  Finally finished my second Touch of Comfort quilt for Quilts for Kids.  I named it “Robot Fun”, and it is now on its return trip.   I think it’s adorable and should bring many smiles to one lucky recipient! It took longer than the 4-6 weeks they gave you to return the quilt, so I hope the quilting police don’t come after me! And here is the 2nd quilt I’m sending along.  The quilt top was made by my friend Mary so I was able to complete the quilt in time to send to Quilts for Kids. I am also linking up again with Amy's Sew and Tell Fridays.  Don’t forget to check out what everyone else has been up to! Happy quilting!

A few months ago, I posted here about Margaret's Hope Chest and their Wrapped In Hope project.  After finishing my first WIH quilt, I signed up to make quilts for twins, who will be 11 in a couple weeks. I made this quilt for the little boy.  It measures 44” x 67”, and the main fabric has vintage hot rods, which I used for the 8” squares on the front.  I also used it for the backing and the binding.  I finished it today, label and all … so it’s ready to go! My friend Mary made the 2nd quilt for the little girl.  She used a cute birthday fabric and bright cheerful colors for her quilt. Both birthday quilts will be mailed and should be at their new home next week.
