Hands2Help and More

     My church group and I have been busy and have several quilts finished to support H2H.  We finished this split nine patch full size bed quilt for a Wilmington hurricane victim. (I've shown them before on my blog, but are here again finished all together.)

It was taken to a drop off point the end of April along with this twin size quilt made using Sarah’s pattern “Sunshine on a Cloudy Day”.

 This scrappy flannel baby quilt has gone in the mail to Jack’s Basket.

 It feels good to use my quilting skills and be a part of this sharing. Thanks to Sarah of Confessions of a Fabric Addict for leading the drive and to all the other participants and sponsors.  

    My sister Irene hinted strongly that she wanted some spring mug rugs.  I got inspired and pulled out scraps and butterfly fabric.  

I used scraps to create the green and blue background areas.  I ironed fusible web to the butterfly fabric.  The 3 D butterflies are 2 matching butterflies fused wrong sides together. I enjoy giving mug rugs as small gifts and with “thinking of you” notes.

     One more quilt almost finished this week ( just needs binding) is this 16 patch star quilt. I like the asymmetry of the layout.  I hope to find a dark blue for binding in the stash at church.

      Enjoy time sewing or quilting if you are not out enjoying spring.
