August, Museum quilt challenge 20178


I posted the Statue of Liberty quilt before.  This was for the challenge for the Moab Museum which is put up each year in May and June.  This year the theme was "Portals".  The first one was "Statue of Liberty, Portal to America".  I love that statue and the place it is.

The second portal is a  picture I found on an ancient looking door, probably in Europe somewhere.  I spent a day  painting and working on it with markers and watercolor paints.  It was a lot of fun.

July, 2017, Baby Girl Quilt for RS

 I just finished this baby girl quilt for RS.  For Relief Society week night activity, we had a "Service Auction".  It did not involve  money of course.  Women could offer a service.  At the meeting we filled out a form, getting points for service, or for other good things - like reading scriptures, taking dinner to someone, having Family Home Evening, saying Thank You, or I love you.  The points you accumulated were then for  you to use to bid on the offered items.  I had three small quilts for the auction.  This one went for 70 points.  I bid on and won a fresh loaf of bread, and an hour's worth of yard work.
