My Warm Wrappings group is back to meeting again after 18 months of Covid lock downs. This group is part of my quilt guild and we make charity quilts for 5 different local agencies. I have a goal each year to make 12 quilt tops with a prepared binding. I do these out of my own stash. Other members of the group quilt them and every October we hand out the quilts to the agencies. Last year we handed out 302.
So I am back at it again. This 36 inch square quilt will go the the Pregnancy Center. They specify 36 inch quilts.This quilt was a effort of cleaning out my scrap stash. I am pleased to say that many of these blocks completely finished off a number of scraps fabrics. I have cut out another in the same pattern using all floral prints. Once done with this one and the second one cut out I am pleased to say that I actually eliminated a full wire basket. More room for new stuff!!!!!! An update on the Flower Garden. Just one more block to go. Next lattice between them and borders. I have not decided what to do with borders. Some appliqué on them for sure, but no exact plan as of yet. I have modified the pattern a good deal. This is Zoey, not a very happy dog. I think she heard me on the phone with the vet making an appointment to have her spayed. It appears this is one of her favorite spots in a bowl under the sofa table to hide. Seems the fit is perfect. She was spayed on Thursday of last week and if one insult was not enough, she had to have three retained baby teeth fangs removed as they failed to come out when her adult fangs came in. It appears that Yorkshire Terriers are famous for that particular issue. She spent Friday hiding in various spots around the house. She is still on pain medication for the 5 days after her surgery so a bit mellow especially in the mornings after getting it. But, she is definately on the mend now and back to her normal wiggles and running around.
love that flower garden immensely...percolating in my brain to do...
ReplyDeleteYour pregnancy center quilt is cute, and I love that scrappy quilt - wonderful use for your pretty scraps. Glad Zoey is on the mend!

Hi Donnalee,
ReplyDeleteYour terrier Zoey is so cute. I love that she has a bowl for her safe spot. So cute. I think I have the pattern for the flower garden quilt you are making. I shall have to look for it. Your blocks are so lovely. Thanks for joining the Design Wall Mondays linky party. Hugs, Judy
Love the quilts. You're most talented.
ReplyDeleteAwww on Zoey. So cute and your mom is doing what needs doing. It will be over soon and all will be well.

Oh, that poor baby!! I am sure she will forgive you! Love your flowers.
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteLove all your quilts...really like the Flower Garden.
It will be beautiful when finished. Have a great day!
Your flower garden is in full bloom. I can almost smell the fragrance :-)
ReplyDeleteThat was a lot for little Zoey. I am sure she will be back to full form in no time.
Your 'flower garden' is delightful! I love your fabric choices. I seem to remember starting one just like this some years ago, I ended up giving it away as I struggle with applique!
ReplyDeletePoor Zoey - hope she feels better soon!
ReplyDeleteNice work on those donation quilt tops! Your applique blocks are coming together beautifully. Funny that Zoey chose a bowl for "her spot"!
ReplyDeletePoir Zoey, what a lot for such a little girl to go through! Do hope she is recovering well.
ReplyDeleteAdore your flower garden applique and that sweet little Zoey. How kind you are to donate your work too.
ReplyDeleteThose are fabulous quilts!! and Poor poor baby = she will need extra cuddle time
ReplyDeleteI hope Zoey if feeling better soon. She looks adorable hanging out in her bowl. So happy that you were able to finish off so many bits of fabric in your quilt. It looks great!
ReplyDeleteNice charity quilts, and great use of odds and ends.
ReplyDeleteLovely donation quilts, I'm admirative, one per month is a great goal! I love your Flower Garden, such happy blocks!
ReplyDeletePoor little Zoey, but she is cute into this bowl ;)) Nice that she recovered and be herself again.
Thank you for sharing and linking up today ;)
Hi,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts...and Flower Garden is awesome.
Hope Zoey feels better soon. Have a great day!
You really are an addict! And you do such wonderful work, I'm amazed every time I visit!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your link at My Corner of the World this week!
Happy days that your group is meeting again! I bet you are over the moon. Zoey on the other hand may be a bit sad, but she's on the mend and will soon be your happy little doggie. Thanks for sharing on Wednesday Wait Loss.
ReplyDeleteVery cool donation quilts. Congrats on cleaning out a scrap bin, that had to feel good. Happy stitching this week.
ReplyDeleteAwe I love Zoey, she is adorable. Loki will be neutered next week so I'm certain he will not be happy with me. Monday his first official groom and Wednesday neutering. That is either one huge bowl or she is still very tiny. Loki is 3 lbs 8.5 oz today and his sister is just over 4#'s. Lovely quilts.
