Twin sized for "H" and two panels for the town museum


This is the quilt I made for Jill's little girl.  She wanted an "H" on it so I embroidered 8 of them for square centers.  It's not quilted  yet, I'm giving it to the long armer to quilt it for me. 


The quilt guild is challenged each year to make small quilts for display in the town museum.  It's the favorite display, I'm told.  I had this fabric of women sitting on a boardwalk, notice they are shaped like fruit.  I put the stripe fabric around them and wrote names of some of the famous shore points.

This second quilt was a panel I had which I hand quilted.  I call it "Stained Glass".

Quilts for Charities

The fabric store in town focuses on making quilts for charities in town.  She takes fabric people are giving away or manufacturer reps bring her stuff.  She cuts the fabric up into  kits for others to sew.  She says some families come to Moab as tourists, part of the family likes to hike and bike, another part, usually the Mom, comes into the store to sew for the day.  These quilts were part of that.  I quilted the top one and put the binding on.  I also put the binding on the other two after they were quilted.  I call me "The Closer."
