Charity quilt recipients ...happy faces
10 Attachment(s)
Every Christmas we give away a bunch of quilts as part of our Christmas give-away/presents/outreach here in Poland. Here are some of the happy recipients of the quilts. What we do, is have a drawing and people who put their names in (when they come to receive their presents) have the potential to receive a quilt from the pile of quilts I've made. Sometimes tops are donated by churches/friends who want to help as well.
Most of the quilts have been posted here before...some of them as I finished them. I can see my progress from tying to beginning to quilt them. Here they are... For this lady, she just wanted something big--she didn't care what it looked like. But she got a pretty one! [ATTACH=CONFIG]391254[/ATTACH] This lady went for the purple/pink right away. It was like it had her name on it. No doubts for her. She wanted this one! [ATTACH=CONFIG]391255[/ATTACH] and One of my "quilt beside the ditch" (it is so much faster)! Total scrappy quilt--4". [ATTACH=CONFIG]391256[/ATTACH] and This lady told us she had never won anything in her life before! She had 4 adorable children with her. and she took my rail fence in pinks and greens--one of the first of quilts I FMQed [ATTACH=CONFIG]391257[/ATTACH] This lady went for my QAYG one using up scraps but this is the back side. I'm not surprised. :) I thought it was possible that someone would prefer the back side to the front! [ATTACH=CONFIG]391258[/ATTACH] and This lady has cancer, so the quilt was just an encouragement for her. Another QAYG using my 2.5" squares. It turned out nicely, I thought and am glad she took it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]391259[/ATTACH] and This lady was happy to get something "pretty just for her". [ATTACH=CONFIG]391260[/ATTACH] This teen went for the Batman quilt right away. He made a beeline for it. I think he loved the colors before he even realized it was Batman! [ATTACH=CONFIG]391261[/ATTACH] and a not-very-happy teen who was extremely suspicious about having his picture taken. I don't even know his name, though, and he got this quilt. [ATTACH=CONFIG]391262[/ATTACH] and this smart young teen chose the sailboats quilt. I loved that quilt--! :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]391263[/ATTACH] And maybe you can see the backing on this sailboat quilt--this is part of the roll of 200 meters of this plaid I was able to get for about $40. :) And oh...no one here is homeless--just people who could use a helping hand. And I'm so slow about posting because I got dreadfully sick right after Christmas and it kind of put me behind with everything! |
