I stepped into our church yesterday to view the fruits of the labor of the wonderful church ladies who made 116 quilts for Lutheran World Relief. You may remember how excited they were when I delivered a boatload of fabric to them. I cannot tell how many quilts were made from the fabrics that were donated by the quilters I know…but, there is pure quilted beauty in the display of their efforts before they ship the quilts off.

Filling up my Stash
Linda at AbbiMays.com sent me 20 pounds of fabric for our church’s Lutheran World Relief quilt-a-thon:
I had to rescue some of the fabric for my stash as it was too lovely or fun for me to pass up O:) – but never fear, the church ladies were still very appreciated of the box of fabric that I AbbiMays.com had sent to them! And I am truly running out of room in my one-butt sewing room for more stash fabric!
Even if you do not need stash fabric, do you still purchase something that is too lovely to pass up?
Biblical Panel
I received this great panel of Biblical verses from Linda at AbbiMays.com:
I have absolutely no information on who designed the panel or who is selling it, but it warmed my heart and many ideas popped into my head about how to create some wonderful gifts for loved ones.
2014 Block of the Month for BOMquilts.com
I have been working on my 2014 block of the month quilt throughout the week and this weekend. The EQ7 image of it is awful. It does not show the true fabric colors of the quilt so I felt compelled to put the quilt together so my BOMquilts.com viewing audience has a much truer photograph of the quilt.
All 12 blocks completed
Sashing and borders are fussy-cut and the binding is trimmed to size
I plan on finishing the final border of the quilt tomorrow so I can get the quilt listed at BOMquilts.com. Fun quilt, very simple for beginning quilters and a great quilt to make for more advanced quilters who want to hone their skills.
Get ready, it’s almost time to launch the introductory instructions and list the fabric and thread requirements! And the sponsors for this 2014 block of the month quilt are AbbiMays.com (fabric) and Aurifil (thread).
Just Because Fabrics
Have you ever strolled through a website and found some fabric that you had no immediate plans for…yet, the fabrics just popped out at you and you HAD TO HAVE THEM for your personal quilt stash? Just because! This was my latest “just because” quilt fabric:
Love the colors, love the pattern and love Linda from AbbiMays.com for sending this to me! It will live in a stash basket until I find a use for it – just because! I shall now commence with my stroking and finding a special basket for this fabulous stash fabric!
