September 2014 Charity Workshop

We had a charity workshop on Thursday, Sept 11th.  In remembrance of that infamous day in our history, we concentrated our efforts on the red, white and blue.  There was a small turn out but a very large effort using our gifts to celebrate and comfort others.

Here is our fearless leader, Stephanie J. She is working on the sashing and outer borders of a wonderful quilt of valor.

and here is that quilt of valor, in all it's glory.  It really is a wonderful piece.  We don't know who the original maker is,  but it will be finished and gifted to a special soldier and his family.

and here is a close-up of the special quilting

Here is our dear Mary D. - hard a work preparing pieces for the upcoming pillowcase drive.

I found a batch of 20 orphan blocks, trimmed them to size and started planning them into a quilt top.  I made sashing and picked out a border.  Here you see the beginning of a quilt of valor.  I brought all the parts home and have the top assembled now.  It is waiting in line for quilting.

That's it for today!  Hope you can join us next time.  We do have a great day together.
