Using up stash
7 Attachment(s)
A while back I came across a yard sale and picked up over 200 yards of fabric for $40.00. The sizes ranged frim 1/3 yard to 17 yards. Mostlly between 3 to 5 yards. I have been using this fabric to make LAP Quilts for a nursing home where my nephew works. Anyway, here are photos of some of the lap quilts I have made. I have already sent him 14 and have 7 more in the works.
My nephew tells me the staff is using them as BINGO prizes and the residents are going wild over them. (I'm glad) I wasn't sure what reception they would get. |
wow you have been busy.

Great quilts! and the people will love them! I like the variety of patterns and colors.
|
What a wonderful thing to do. so many of these residents have no one
|
First of all, you are a real sweetheart to share your talents with strangers.
You made some beautiful quilts, you should be proud of each and every one of them. |
Those are great. I admire you for giving your time.

I am currently working on a faux Catheral Window presented by Jenny Doan on YouTube. She is using the "Magic Circle" ruler. The quilt is very easy. Requires no batting or quilting. |

Ccorazone...Bless you! I worked at a nursing home for 15+ years.....the residents there LOVED receiving quilts and other items that were "just for them"...add in quilts as a bingo prize....win / win all the way around.
It is sew great to see BEAUTIFUL donation / charity quilts. It has always bothered me that some people think donation / charity = ugly. <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:OfficeDocumentSettings> <o:AllowPNG/> </o:OfficeDocumentSettings> </xml><![endif]--> The underprivileged / less fortunate enjoy "pretty" too. Your quilts are truly lovely, and I can't wait to see more. Thank you for sharing with us. Beckie
