I never really counted. I know I probably made at least 20 last year but at least 6 of them were doll quilts. 12"x18". Also made quite a few lap quilts but my granddaughter claimed several of them when she was here Christmas week. She used them to wrap up her dolls. She loved them. I was making them for nursing home but family comes firts.

My grandma taught me the devil finds work for idle hands. Bet you all heard the same thing.

I completed about 5 lap quilts for the battered family shelter and a dozen quilted pillows for elder care facilities in the area. On my bad days I'd make quilt tops, and I have about 20 of them stashed away, gave 2 tops at the quilt guild meeting last Monday for various charities of the guild and its members. I had really harsh health issues last year, but a parathyroid operation in August, and I am just now getting to feeling better.
I should return to normal quilting mode soon, as I can stand for longer periods of time now with my calcium blood count under control. Being able to walk is truly like getting your life back. :)

In the 2 years I have been quilting I have completed 10 quilts and have 4 that need backs or are waiting for the long arm. I thought I was doing great until I saw some of the gorgeous, original quilts on this board! You are a very talented group of folks! :thumbup:

I make a minimum of 200 sandwich quilts for the womens & childrens abuse shelters in our area.
I have a TBI so sandwich quilting is what I am capable of at the moment.
I intend to add more in this year for the foster children program and maybe Project Linus.
It seems to fill something in my soul.
