July 2014 Charity Sew-In

Yesterday, our club held a charity sew-in day at EUM Church.  We also invited church members to participate along with us -  quilting lessons and biased direction included.  This photo is our July crew standing around a very small portion of the supplies provided.

We had a great sewing day and accomplished alot.  Some of the ladies rummaged through the boxes to pair up tops, backings & batting combos.  These kits were taken by several folks to quilt and bind at home.  Some of the ladies collected fabrics to kit up into other projects.  We all had a great time and teamwork prevailed.

There is only a few projects showing off here today. Several went home to be finished. Here is Arlene showing our 9-patch quilt top.  We worked together to make this top.  There was still an outer border of royal blue added after this photo was taken.  I brought it home to finish up.

Bev M. found a small stash of bowtie blocks and went about creating this adorable bowtie quilt. Bev often works with us on charitable projects.

Here is Lesa S. showing off a stormy seas quilt top.  She also picked some orphan blocks and built this quilt around them.

We all had a great time together and a little chocolate.  I think we will be seeing lots more quilts finished for gifting to our community outreach.  Thanks to EVERYONE for taking part!
