Charity Quilting

We had a quilt guild meeting Thursday. Actually, there was no meeting or program scheduled, but we already had the meeting place reserved, and we had planned to make it an open sew, work on what you want day. Connie (the shop owner who is collecting quilts for the Central Texas flood victims) called someone in the guild and asked if we could help with binding the quilts they are sending. Yes! We picked up what she had and were finished by around 1:00 pm. Here is a small stack that was finished when I took the picture.

I took one unfinished one home to work on and finished it up yesterday. 

It has signature blocks in it: 

Yes, it does say 2013.....I have some opinions about that, but I will try and keep them to myself. I am going over to Connie's shop later today to help put some of the poppy blocks together. I have some grandkid stuff going on, so I can't do all day, but I'm sure even a couple of hours will help. 

Oh! The weatherman didn't tell us the truth this week. We were supposed to get a cool front, but as far as I can tell, it didn't happen. When I got up yesterday at 5:00 am, it was 74, not 69, and by mid-afternoon, it was in the 90's. 

Any cool weather would be a relief. We did get some rain Wednesday and early Thursday, so I will have to be satisfied with that. 

I started the quilting on the Boys of the Bible quilt that I want to donate for the church auction. 

It is absolutely huge! The masculine colors are nice for a change. I also got a pile of binding made!

The shorter pieces are for potholders. 

Now I am going to pat myself on the back a little. I finally figured out how to remove the “Samsung” watermark from my phone camera! It had showed up during on the many updates they push, and I hadn’t taken the time to look around in the camera app and see where it was hiding. I finally found it and got if turned off. Here’s a pic with no watermark:
