This past week is the last week of getting quilt tops finished up for my charity group to complete their final end of the year donations drive. In October we will send off to 5 various agencies in our area a total of approximately 350 finished quilts. Then I am off to working on some fun projects for myself. I just ordered two fall fabric Fat Quarter Bundles so cannot wait to dig into them.
This is my last three. I love the simple child's quilt with the elephants on it, and I think this blue, red, and yellow quilt could make a fun older child's quilt too. Nice to be finished with this latest project.Last week's blog had me lamenting about my pumpkin wall hanging quilt's leaf error. It took me a couple of days and lots of wonderful advice from comments to decided that it was still worth hanging it in our entry hall. I decided if I could find a caterpillar button or some other garden bug button sewing it onto that leaf would be a fun idea. Unfortunately I was not able to find any of those, but in my button box, a carry over of hundreds of buttons my husband's mother gave me, I found these two little bumble bee buttons. Yesterday I finished the binding and hung the quilt up in the entry hall. We love it!

What a great solution to the leaf! I like the design of the third charity quilt best; the other two are fun too! --TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteThe bee buttons are adorable there! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe bumble bee 🐝 was the perfect solution, it's super cute, and makes the wall hanging unique!
ReplyDeleteAwesome job on the charity quilts, it's so great that your group can donate to so many groups.
Great job with the donation quilts, these last three are very pretty. Colorful and happy! Your little bees are on the best spot, and your wall hanging quilt is perfect for the season! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work and linking up.
ReplyDeleteThe buttons are just perfect!

ReplyDeleteThe little bee buttons look very cute on the wall hanging. Great choice. Your donation quilt tops will be adored by whoever gets them. I'm amazed that your group will have 350 quilts to donate. Very impressive!
ReplyDeleteYou are so very talented. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥
Love the idea of a bug button on the leaf, like it's being chewed. So happy you have hung the Pumpkin quilt. It's so pretty to hide away. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

I miss doing the charity quilts no longer being in a guild. I will rejoin after I'm done babysitting.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful idea to show off the errant leave with bumble bee buttons. Especially true since they came from your inherited button box and therefore have sentimental value, as well.
ReplyDeleteLove how you added the buttons to the leaf. Perfect solution. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings.
ReplyDelete350 quilts is amazing!
