#9 of UFO project finished

Large tumbler quilt. Size is 52x66.

Wool Hoodie

I had fully intended to make two hoodies but only was able to get one finished. Machine knit on bulky Brother 270. Wool from KnitPicks and pattern from Mar Heck. This will be going to Syrian refugee camps along with 3 quilts and 7 hats.

Two quilts for Happy Chemo

Mailed these two quilts on Thursday for program called Happy Chemo.

Hats for Syrian refugees

This May's project for All Crafts for Charity. Things for Syrian refugee camps in Jordan and Lebanon. Hats are machine knit on the bulky machine, also sending 3 quilts and a wool knit hoodie that I will post here when it's been steamed.

UFO #7 and #8 finished

Little Zipper Bags

Thirteen of these. I had them cut out with their zippers in a bag waiting for inspiration to hit. I'll be taking them to Grand Chapter in May for the craft table.

And here is #6.........

This one measures 41x62, one of the smaller ones. I bought some King Tut quilting thread from Superior Thread. There's no comparison with the thread I had been using. I look forward to quilting my next quilt. And the next one, and the next one.

But next I need to make a placemat - will use small tumblers as I have plenty all cut.

I'm also wanting to make some things for the April AC4C projects. I'll probably make some pillowcase dresses for Haiti and some flannel buntings for stillborns for a hospital down south. We'll see how I get on with all these projects.

And #5, finished today

And I have #6 all ready to pin into the frame. I'm moving right along.

UFO Finish #4

So far, so good. This was made with the leftover blocks from a larger log cabin quilt. I cut the pieces with the GO die. I made these over a year ago. Maybe I should cut for another soon. And......I have #5 pinned into the frame. This one measures 57" square.

Two Finishes Today

And with time to spare. For the March charity project I said I would send 2 quilts and a crocheted blanket, both baby size.

Right now I'm hoping I can finish one quilt a week. Understand that the tops are already made, they just need to be quilted and bound. It doesn't sound like much but the backs have to be made, the batting cut to size and the three layers pinned into the quilting frame and then quilted. Oh, and don't forget making the binding and putting it on. This is not a problem if that's all I plan to do. But I have three bunnies to make and some machine knitting projects I want to tackle.

Hands2Help

I'm participating again this year in this program. I've committed to send two quilts to Happy Chemo. I should be able to send more as I am determined to get all the quilt tops I have stacked up here finished.

Small Tumbler Quilt

This is the small tumbler quilt I started at the Clamshell meeting on the 9th. It measures 36"x48" and is 16 tumblers wide by 16 tumblers long. It will be going to a program called Heart Reach Alaska, the March project for the online group I belong to called All Crafts for Charity.

I put this picture on Clamshell Quilters Facebook page and it came out really distorted. Let's see what happens here.

A Finish Today

I found a place on Etsy that custom prints fabric. I ordered four pieces, one for each of the little kids. I have the first bunny finished that obviously is for Carter. These are made with an embroidery machine and this is the largest size my machine will make. I don't really think I need to make these any bigger. But, then again, a new embroidery machine might be nice.

UFO finish #3 for 2015

I hope I can improve my pictures taken with the iPad. This doesn't look like much. All the strings in this HeartStrings quilt were a gift that I received in a contractor's trash bag. It was so heavy I had to use two hands to carry it. There are many more strings to use in my next several quilts. This is a donation quilt, no particular destination right now, but one will present itself very soon, I'm sure.

This is a test. It's been so..........long

I'm wanting to do my posting from my iPad. If I can add pictures you will see three cute little boys - GREAT grandchildren - now when did this happen?
