On Saturday I attended my guild's National Quilt Day sewing event. We celebrate by making pillowcases for a local children's hospital each year. About 20 of us gathered and between what we accomplished on Saturday and what we will take home and finish we will donate 125 pillowcases to the hospital.
My contribution was the one on the far left with the blue rabbits print and the green cuff, and the tan polkadot with the dark red cuff next to it. I have two more I still have to finish at home. My Southern Charm came back from the quilter last week. So pretty! I really love this back on it too. Also have a good deal left over from it to use making something else. Oh, the quilting Hollie used on it is just wonderful. It is a pale green and the pattern is just perfect for it. I never select either the thread or pattern when Hollie does my quilting for me. She is an artist, and I just let her loose to do her magic.
