Charity Quilting

This one was pieced by Mary for  Annapolis Quilts for Kids. 

I love a bright background fabric. So fun! Pieced by Mary.

Crochet Crazy - Friday Finish

I finished my Granny Poncho!

I can wear it with the points on the side. 

Or with the points front and back. Overall, a great finish. The yarn worked out perfectly for this on. 300 grams of Knit Picks Stroll.

Scrappy Quarter Cabins

I have a big bag of scraps left over from making charity quilts. I wanted some simple sewing so I decided to make some Scrappy Quarter Cabins. I learned this technique from Christina Cameli on her blog A Few Scraps. If you need more help than you like, there is also an online course. Nine blocks is a good start!

I'm sure I will be making these for a while before I have enough for a small quilt. I made a large one in August 2020 you can read about in this post. 

I will share my list of tools below, if you want check them out. These blocks are really easy and fun to make. The rotating mat is not a requirement but it is nice to have for squaring up these blocks. I also use spray starch when pressing so the blocks will stay nice and flat until I assemble the quilt.

Charity Quilting

I dropped off several quilted charity quilts with Annapolis Quilts for Kids last weekend. I also picked up a stack of quilts made by other members. This was the first one I pulled out to quilt.
