I make things for The Ships Project...visit their web page
http://www.theshipsproject.com/
Knit hats for the winter and Cool ties (
neck-coolers) for summer, and occasionally a quilt. I call this one the Deer Quilt.
 |
| This one was a special request, |
 |
| See the deer and other wild life! |
Sometimes I just make one from what I have on hand, or what is donated. My friend, Susan, an experienced Quilter, gave me some squares of cloth she no longer wanted to keep.
 |
These are some of the left over squares!
The original pile was probably enough to make 2 or 3 Twin Quilts. |
Susan also introduced me to the concept of "half square triangles". So I used her squares and tried out her technique and made this quilt.

Another friend, Sharon, is a
professional long arm quilter. She donated her quilting services for soldier care quilts.

| Even the back is interesting! |
 |
| Sharon "fusses" at me if I do not put a label on my quilt! |
I have started another quilt using Susan's squares and some white on white prints...taking photos as I sew this time!
