Lil Bear Hugs 26--4 ,26-5 & 26-6

It was definitely time to whip up some more lil bear hug quilts to wrap around stuffies for giving to children. This project was started last year by Mary of MaryQuilts.com. A few of us thought it a great project and continuing it for a long term mission.

Following along with the RSC color of the month in aqua, I used yesterday to sew and quilt 2 lil bear hug quilts. Several years ago I used RSC to make a collection of Scrap Snap blocks offered by Quiltsforthemaking.blogspot.com . This was in 2020. The collection got stored in a box along with several other blocks, all of which I'm now calling a parts dept.

when aqua was called, I pulled out those aqua snap blocks and orange snap blocks for an accent. I used them to make 9 patch centers and added assorted borders cut from the scrap bins. They both finished at 21 x 24 inches and will be used to wrap up stuffies for children.

Lil Bear Hug # 4 was made with potato chip units I had cut over time from scraps. I need to do mots more scrap cutting! Always behind as they gather up so quickly..

Heartstrings Donation # 6 from Valerie Osborne

I received a box of baby size quilt tops from Valerie of ME via Heartstrings Group. I paired a lovely piece of matching aqua print by Riley Blake Designs for the back which looks more blue in the photo but it really is a nice sea green teal matching the front. This baby quilt will be donated to The Hope Center which provides medical services for new moms-to-be.

I free motion quilted using a template by Amanda Murphy. I think she called it a petal which I rotated around to make this quilting design. I think it looks pretty on this quilt.

Heartstrings Donations: Val # 5 & Lil BH # 2

This first little baby quilt is a donation thru Heartstrings Group; the top donated by Valerie of Maine and the backing from a quilter friend in Illinois. I quilted with straight lines and binding to finish at 36 x 36. It will go to The Hope Center which is a local organization supporting new-to-be mothers.

This lil bear hug quilt # 02 is the result of a mission began last year also by the Heartstrings Group. We make lil quilts to wrap up a stuffed critter to donate to organizations supporting children in need or times of crisis. I am a bit behind my goal for this year, but hope to get caught up. Last year there were alot of little tops sent to a few of us by members to finish and donate for them.

On behalf of RSC color for March, I made this one in reds. I started out making 4 patches from 3-1/2 inch leftover squares. The back is also red with thin white hearts. This turned out 22 inches square.

Valerie's String Quilt # 3

A small finish for this week, one of Valerie Osborne's donated through Heartstrings tops now quilted and ready for donation to The Hope Center, a clinic for new-to-be mothers.. It finished at 37" square. I quilted it in a continuous circle with a mint green Omni thread top and in the bobbin. The backing is also from a donation given to me last year from a generous cyber friend. What a blessing to be able to pass these gifts forward. I have 2 more tops from Valerie now pin basted and ready to quilt on.

Tossed Leaves Runner & Valerie's String Top # 2

I've been working on several things this week and have these 2 small finishes to share. Tossed Leaves & Pumpkins Runner was made from 2 placemat panels. I used coordinating fabrics to create the center checkered design. I free motion quilted it with Glide threads using a diagonal line going around the small rectangles and free motion in the pumpkin and leaves shapes. The back is a fun plaid print from this fabric line. It finished at 18 x 50.

This string quilt is a 37 inch baby quilt. The top is made by Valerie Osborne of Maine and donated thru contact with the Heartstrings Group. The backing is a lovely piece donated by a generous friend in Illinois. I quilted it with a serpentine stitch grid with gray Omni thread. It will be donated to the Hope Center for mothers-to-be. Isn't the quilting community a generous and loving bunch of humanity!
