August UFO Project #7

This quilt top will be mailed along with my finished July project to Julie at Phoenix Quilts.  I will be mailing it out on Tuesday.  The Blog links seem to have changed in the last few weeks, so it may me awhile to figure out how to create the link.  Otherwise, you can check out Julie's blog at:  http://PhoenixQuilts.blogspot.com
 

July UFO Project #3 finished

July 2012 Project Complete on 8/6/2012

I enjoyed watching the 2012 Olympics while I sewed on the binding.  The machine quilting was done with the walking foot.  The Norman Rockwell panel was pieced into the back to allow enough width and I was happy with how it added some excitement to the back of the quilt.

While I was reading through several different quilting blogs, I came across a link to Phoenix Quilts (aka Operation Wood Hollow).  Julie Anderson of Utah, started a wonderful ministry for the 2012 fire victims.  She is collecting quilts, quilt tops, blocks and batting to be used to complete quilts which will then be delivered to those who lost their homes.  So, this quilt is being mailed out to Julie tomorrow.

I found the link to Phoenix Quilts on the Blog of
Confessions of A Fabric Addict.

When the camera came out for my DH to take pictures of the UFO quilt tops, our little dog, Nipper wanted to get in one of the pictures, so here she is...

Nipper just had a birthday on July 8th and she turned 12.  She is a smooth fox terrier.

UFO Challenge #7 for August

The project for this month was a class given by Karen Combs based on her book called "Combing through your Scraps".  Karen came to our guild in 2001.  I finished the quilt top but it still needs to be quilted.
