Thank you.. generous quilters….

I am feeling like a quilter wanna be and I LOVE IT! I signed up on AllPeopleQuilt and got brave to ask for material donations.. and I have a few sweet darling women donating material and floss and whatever to me! OH JOY!! I am so happy. I hope they know I will be a quilting mad-woman when I get this stuff. Today I had a quilt waiting for black thread. A friend of mine has plenty or spools given to he by another friend and with in and hour or so of coming home – i got it done, the applique and the binding! WahLah! A hangin quilt done. i cannot show the photos because it’s a gift and i cannot have the people getting it see it befoe hand!!

I will post this… a baby quilt i made for our group. We make quilts for babies being dedicated at a local Guatemalan church. I made this one up. It’s not done but here’s the progress…
The FIRST THREE were various IDEAS, the next three are the final idea being assembled, now I need to bind!

Nothing to show… yet

Ok, so I bet your wondering.. where’s the quilt? heehee, After further examination of the pattern purple I was going to use, it’s was more blue than the other purple I was going to use… UGH! SO I have had to be patient until I can get material. We searched in the city this week and nothing. We just couldn’t find it. So maybe later today, I will just go to the Mercado to get some yards here and there I have one project kinda started and so many more in my head!!! I am making everything up in my head and then using Photoshop to design and figure out what and how much! The one here I call Shutters. I know… pretty ugly, for now, I am working on it! Pray I can get material.

Been Busy Since Last Post

It’s been a while I am sure. I have been trying to spend more time with family and keep house. But I just had to blog today. One I have the time and the electricity just came back on. We never know why they go out – it may be rolling blackouts, or construction, etc… I know we paid the bill!

I am back in my quilting group – since May, i think. Anyway, we have afew new people and I am so excited! I am now very inspired to make quilts left and right! But I need thread and material. Until then, I assist in the cutting of material for making quilts. the quilts we make are for a local Guatemalan church that does baby dedications OFTEN!!! So we are making quilts they give to the baby during the dedication as a representation of the church covering for the child. Cool huh!?

Anyway, since we’re getting a littl caught up, we are going to ba doing our own. Maybe I can get back to the t-shirt quilt I want to make. In 2004, I cut all my highschool t-shirts for it, so I just need to design and assemble!! I want to make quilts now for everyone!

Idea for Lydia

Pictured is an idea i have to make a quilt for Lydia. I call it Butterfly Round Up! I did the pattern and layout in Photoshop. I think you can click on it for a bigger view. If some one wants the pattern, let me know. I don’t have it in a great way but Only if someone requests it will I take the time to make it in a word doc or pdf for use. It’s free to share. I’m not into paying for patterns or selling, but will take donations

Let me know of other cool yet simple layouts! And If you want to donate materials or thread, email me too! See other Ways the Butterflies can be laid out for a desired look. See it here: http://www.new.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2007327&l=d5004&id=1188615218

PS: I am working on a pattern for Sunbonnet Sue! Just the same as the old-fashioned one but a little cleaner etc. Stay Tuned.

Sincerely,
