Tops For Vets!

All of the kits that I made up over the winter are quickly becoming tops.  I purposely chose easy patterns with large pieces for these quilts that will go to Lap Robes For Veterans.  Their motto is "So Many Veterans...Sew Little Time" and it is so true!  Veterans greatly outnumber quilters, but that doesn't mean that we aren't going to try and show our appreciation for their service by giving each and every one a quilt!

And The Winners Are...

And the winner of the Learn to Quilt with Scraps class is...

I love scrap quilts. I love using any of the "old standards", like Shoo Fly, Bow Tie, Dresden Plate, etc. but with a lot of different fabrics.

Thank you for this giveaway.

I would love to know how to use all my scraps. I have oodles of triangles, squares and rectangles that are a stash all their own. I use them to design my own quilts. My grandchildren are each getting one for Christmas and now I am working on a wedding gift, a play on lights and darks. They have been labors of love and so much fun seeing them evolve.

Kits!

This winter I spent a good deal of time cutting a huge box of patriotic fabric scraps into usable sizes and putting together quilt kits.  It was a time consuming process, but now that it's done, it's easy to grab a kit and sew a top together with very little thought.  Do you put together kits to have on hand for when you need a quick project to work on?

Finished!

Here's quilt one from the Learn to Quilt with Scraps class all quilted and bound!  I love everything about this quilt!  It was quick and easy to put together and the pattern was easily adapted to fit the size requirements for Lap Robes For Veterans.  This quilt will soon go to a veteran traveling on an upcoming Honor Flight.

Giveaway!

The nice folks at Annie's have given me not one, but TWO online classes to giveaway!  That's right, one person will win the Learn to Quilt with Scraps class and another will win the Learn to Make Pineapple Quilts class!

The Learn to Quilt with Scraps class is the class that I have been working through the last couple of weeks.  The class comes with three scrap quilt patterns along with tips for cutting and containing your scraps and valuable information on how to put colors together in your scrap quilts.

I was fortunate to see Gyleen demonstrate her method for making the pineapple block in person a couple of years ago.  There really is no easier way to make this block!  This class also includes patterns for three quilts!
