Charity Quilting

A couple more fun quilts pieced by Mary. This kitty quilt is wonderful!

Sometimes I see members of quilting groups on Facebook ask where they should donate their quilts. There are so many charities that would love to have them. As you know, I work with Annapolis Quilts for Kids.

If you want to contribute but don't have the time or skills, you can support the national Quilts for Kids by shopping through Amazon Smile. I don't earn anything from this link. This link lets your purchases support Quilts for Kids through Amazon. I don't add affiliate links to my charity quit posts on purpose. 

Here is the EpochConverter for 2019.

Peacock Petals Crochet

Last week I shared the slow progress on the Peacock Petals Shawl. 

I continue to work on it a little each afternoon. I love watching the slow color shift and the lacy stitches forming. This is at row 40. A little over half way. Right now the edge is a little ruffly, but I'm sure blocking will settle it out. This is a project where blocking will play a vital role in getting the lacy to really sing.

Yarn Leftovers

I had this mishmash of leftover yarn and wanted to make it into one ball of yarn for a project. I put it in order from the smallest ball to the largest or what made sense from a color perspective.

I used this video about how to make a Russian join. Such a simple and effective way to join together two pieces of yarn.

It is pretty invisible when done, too.

Then I wound it up into a single cake that weighs in at 240 grams. This is bound to be a fun shawl. I just have to pick the right pattern.

Charity Quilting

Last weekend I dropped I off some kid quilts at Annapolis Quilts for Kids and grabbed more quilts to get quilting. Even simple quilts can have a big impact. 

The simple meander is a great way to get back into the swing of quilting.
