Caring with Quilts.....Quilt
I know i have posted some of these pics before but i feel
the quilt deserves
a post all of it's own
so as you know a few months ago
i made the insane decision to make a quilt
for chooky's
"caring with quilts"
charity
i headed off shopping looking for a jelly roll to create a quick quilt
i didn't find one
but i did find a heap of fabric i loved so
i created my own
Jelly roll
after after lot's of cutting i had these gorgeous piles
lined up beside Victoria
(the sewing machine)
the quilt started coming together rather quickly
and i love that i had Miss M's bed to lay everything out on
i had the quilt completed about two and a half weeks before GDITC
although it came together really quickly we just had a really busy period
in the egg household
(oh let's face it when is there not a busy period in the egg household)
anyway with 2 1/2 weeks to go
the panic started rising about getting it quilted in time
as things didn't appear to be quieting down at all
so i called my Friend Jan
of
with the plea of can you fit it in and quilt it for me
not only did Jan accept the quilt but she
refused to accept
payment for it
she Donated her quilting
for Chooky's charity
I think that was amazing and am so grateful to Jan for
quilting the quilt for me she did a spectacular job
a close up
the overall effect......doesn't it look great
(sorry it's a bit blurry)
and with binding being done in the car
and when i was sitting in Bridget late on thursday night
and again when the girls were doing show and tell
and the last stitches were stitched at mount misery cafe
as we waited for dinner
i was proudly able to hand over
the quilt
which never got a name
to a very cheeky Chook
i was thrilled to make this quilt and
to have the
opportunity to participate
in this charity
and to give back something to the universe
after all the
wonderful gifts the universe has given me
Hope your hands are working on a project that you love
Ciao
