Busy making quilts for women's shelter, using up my scrapes for a good purpose. But the pile doesn't seem to be going down, because I need to buy the backing. Hope you enjoy them

Such very lovely quilts and a very generous and thoughtful action on your part. Over 25 years ago I stayed at a women's shelter with my 3 very young kids for a few days. I remember thinking at the time that some of the things there were so much nicer than what I had at home. It's amazing some of the little things your mind remembers. And amazing sometimes what "small kind actions" in a stressful time like that can snowball into life-changing events.

Very thoughtful and lovely thing to do. I like the FMQ hearts on the pinwheel quilt...they remind me of 4 leaf clovers! Must be because St. Patty's Day is right around the corner! :)
