I've tried to have a productive week while working around appointments. I started piecing my Crimson Christmas kit designed by Krista Moser. You can get it HERE . I cut and pieced through steps 1-6 & 12. She has helpful videos on a private group which she will close after one year....come October.
Since I have so many photos today, I kept them on the smaller size. You can click on any photo to get a larger pic.
Then I moved on to donation projects. These bear hugs # 7 & 8 came from the blue scrap bin which was still out from February's RSC. I was going to put it away but there were several rail fence type sets sewn together for L/E. I made a few more to complete the sets and made two bear hug quilts.
# 7 is made from 3" finished rails. finished at 17 x 20. I paired it with a PBS Kids stuffie and free motion quilted a grid using rulers plus a little swirly in the tiny border. The backing is an adorable fleece print of puppies.
# 8 is made from 4 " finished rails, has a royal blue fleece backing and free motion quilted in a grid using rulers. This one finishes at 24 x 24 and is paired with an adorable large eyes stuffie donated to me by our dear friend, Dee in Nebraska.
Here is my third donation finish this week. This is a topper donated by Cindy Weber of Indiana. It measures 36 x 36 so it will go to the Foster Child Ministry in our area which serves 6 counties. I also backed this one with that adorable puppy fleece and had great fun free motion quilting different designs in all the borders. I had to give it a name and didnt know what that center block is called, so I penned it "Starburst".
I'm joining these lovely linky parties this week. Please be sure to visit them to see what other creative quilters are sharing.
