Feeling Thankful..

This weekend was a whirlwind of cutting, sewing, ironing, basting, quilting and binding. It was nonstop and it was a lot of work... but it was SO worth it. This weekend had me thinking about just hot thankful I am that there are people out there willing to help and give their time/energies/materials to make a difference for other people. I've been getting compliments on instagram as I'm showing the work i'm doing, but in reality.. its not me, its YOU and I cannot thank you enough.

Quilt 1 is destined for my sisters best friends family that made the shore their permanent home 4 years ago and suffered water damage to their first floor.

Quilt 2 is destined for my future sister-in-laws family who couldn't get to their house for the first week and when they did, they found out that they too had lost most of their first floor of the house.

Then onto the do.good quilt. I'm the caretaker of the BELIEVE circle and I asked the ladies to make a wonky pinwheel block using this tutorial. I left the colors up to them and i'm SO glad I did, its stunning!! I incorporated blocks on the front and back and used some Kate Spain flannel for an extra cozy feeling.

All in all, awesomely productive weekend

If you follow of instagram you're probably so tired of seeing these, sorry! 

I have another stack of Black/gray/yellow blocks waiting for me for a hurricane quilt and almost  a full set of scrappy for another quilt - mailing deadline is Nov. 25th! (There's an updated thread so you can see if your blocks have been received/ we're updating as you tell us you mail.)

Lastly, Deb is holding a giveaway where you could win a FQ bundle of Notting Hill - check it out.
