Special Quilting on a Military Veteran’s Quilt

Posted on April 25, 2014 by TK HarrisonApril 20, 2014

When I give my longarm quilter a quilt, I rarely ask for her to do a pattern.Â She is the expert and she quilts my quilts with love.Â I did ask for stars to be used when quilting this special Military Veteran’s quilt.Â But, Meloney went way further and quilted the quilt with both stars and a little bit of micro-quilting where I had placed raw edge applique.Â I am sure the recipient of this quilt will treasure it, in part because it is made especially for him and in part because of the beautiful quiltingÂ Meloney has done.

Military Veteran’s Quilts

In keeping with my charity quilt goals (found here), I have made the February and March Military Veteran’s quilts…will have to wait on the April one as I have a bit of a backlog of other quilt projects waiting on me.

Military Veteran’s Quilt #2

Free quilt patterns coming soon!Â The first quilt is already dedicated to a Marine Veteran…the second quilt has yet to be quilted.Â Do YOU make quilts for Military Veterans?

Fulfilling my 2014 Goals…One Project at a Time

Posted on April 7, 2014 by TK HarrisonApril 6, 2014

I wrote about my 2014 charity quilt goals here.Â I have now made three quilts for our church’s support of the Lutheran World Relief.Â I should have 12 of them done by the time the quilt ladies at church set aside two weeks at the beginning of each February to make and finish their quilts.Â Thus far, these three are what I have made:

LWR Quilt #1 for February 2014

LWR Quilt #2 for March 2014

LWR Quilt #3 for April 2014

Took the bull by the horns this month and got one of my three charity quilts completed…instead of waiting until the last minute as I did in March <blush>.Â Happy as a quilt bug in a quilted rug!

Quilted Lovies!

Posted on March 19, 2014 by TK HarrisonMarch 17, 2014

Have no fear, my Quilted Lovies are HERE!

I made a vow, at the beginning of February 2014, that I would make three charity quilt projects a month.Â One will be a quilt for my church’s Lutheran World Relief ongoing quilt donations, one will be for Military Veteran’s and one will be a Quilted Lovie.Â Thus far, February is in the bag and I am working on fitting my March charity quilt projects into my schedule.

The two images below are the results of my February and MarchÂ Quilted Lovie goal:

To go along with my post yesterday, I have completed a Military Veteran’s (charity) quilt for February as well as the LWR quilt.Â Although I am just a bit behind, I also put together a Quilted Lovie top this evening!Â Will get it ready to quilt in the next couple of days.Â LOVE it!
