Quilty Finish #10 and #11: You Are My Sunshine and Quilters Stand for Ukraine

-

You Are My Sunshine Quilt #284

Size:  56" x 71"

Started 3/8/22 - Finished 4/7/22

I made this quilt for my darling granddaughter Katie and previously posted about it here.


I quilted it on my Moxie with an E2E floral design.  I just love my Moxie with the Pro-Stitcher Lite, but I still have a lot to learn.

I found the perfect backing with tons of sunflowers and cute little birds.



The quilting design is Blossom Cluster by ProStitcher.

Kaite and Her Quilt - April 2022

My granddaughter Katie came for a week-long visit last month, and I gave her the quilt the day before she was to fly back home to Kentucky.  

Katie and Her Quilt - 2000

I've been making quilts for Katie since she was born.  This pink and blue rail fence quilt was the very first one I ever made.  This quilt was well-loved, and somehow it survived the passage of time.  It found its way back to me, where I am safely saving it for Katie someday.

Quilters Stand for Ukraine Wallhanging #285

Size:  24" square

Started 4/4/22 - Finished 4/11/22

I made this wallhanging with Pat Sloan's pattern, which she designed as a fundraiser for Ukraine's children.


I originally made this small quilt to hang on my front door to show my support for Ukraine.  But I decided to make a lap quilt instead and gave the wall hanging to my niece, who I know is as horrified as I am about what is happening in Ukraine.  I know she will hang it on her front door.

I was more than happy to make a donation to UNICEF and am thrilled to know that, as of this date, Quilters Stand for Ukraine has raised almost $225,000 for the children of Ukraine.

Until next time ... 
Be happy and keep on quilting!

    Katie's sunflower quilt is spectacular! I love everything about it. I bet she loves it. Neat story about her baby quilt. How neat you were able to make the Ukraine block into a lap quilt!

    That's a great finish. Quilters are generous, and it's good to see that collectively we have donated so much. Thanks for linking up with Thank Goodness It's Finished Friday.

Tutorial: Fold and Turn Coasters

These fold-and-turn coasters are SO easy and fun to make!  I first saw this pattern in 2002 at a guild meeting, and the instructions were handwritten.  There were no pictures … only hand drawings.  Well, we’ve come a long way in 8 years! I made this set of 4 coasters to include with the potholders I made for Amy’s Potholder Pass #2 . These coasters were made with five 5-inch cotton squares and one 5-inch flannel square.  These can also be made in other sizes as long as the squares are equal in size.  Suggested square sizes range from 4-1/2” to 6” … your choice.  You may also use one 5-inch batting square, but I found batting was a tad too thick.  But, again, your choice. Instructions: (1) Y ou will choose three different fabrics.  Two fabrics will be used for the top of the coaster and one will be used for the bottom (backing).  I chose the light blue for the bottom: (2) Cut fabric to the desired square size.  I us...

Quilty Finish #13: Halloween No Point Stars Quilt

Halloween No Point Stars Quilt #253  Size: 50" x 56" Started 9/18/20 - Finished 10/15/20 I previously posted about my Halloween No Point Stars top, and I am happy to say that I finally finished the quilt ... just in time for Halloween! I used a polyester snow blanket remnant for the batting.  Yes, a snow blanket that is used for Christmas villages.  This was not originally intentional.  I didn't want to use Warm & Natural as I was not going to use this as a "blanket" but rather as a display/decoration.  I wanted a lightweight batting, so I looked through my bin of batting remnants and found what I thought was just right. As I was basting the quilt, I noticed some glitter - not much - just a tiny bit on the "batting".  It finally dawned on me why it felt a little different!  How did this snow blanket get mixed in with my regular batting remnants?  Anyway, I was already halfway done, so I decided to go with it. I didn't have any Halloween fabri...
