Last year it was Buggy Wheels this year it's Rose of Sharon
 

Each year our quilt group (about 8 of us) build a quilt for our Senior Center to raffle off in March. Last year we did the Buggy Wheels which was a huge success. We each received thank you and embroidered book marks from the lady who won it. She was most happy! This year we went a step further and did hand appliqued Rose of Sharon with a few pieced blocks. Then we all took turns with the hand quilting. It turned out pretty darn special! Here's this years pic:

feline fanatic, yes we used Sharon's book for the appliqued blocks and also ideas from the book "A Perfect Union" by Darlene Christopherson. I should have given credit in my first posting, sorry. More pictures of the quilt and the pillows are on the Center's website and you can purchase tickets there if you wish it's

The reason we didn't do all ROS applique is due to some members didn't feel qualified or enjoy needle turn applique
and to get everyone involved this is what we ended up with. I think it turned out wonderful. Thank you for all your nice comments on our raffle quilt. Next year........drum roll..............Dresden Plate!
