Another One Off the List

Another finish feels good! I can only take credit for doing the binding on this quilt, but it IS another "To Do" crossed off my list and that feels good! This is the quilt I told you about a week ago - a donation by our quilters' guild to our provincial youth drug addiction treatment centre. They have requested quilts for all their beds and this is the one we'll be giving. Guilds across the province are answering the call. Now that it has been shown at our guild meeting last night, I can share it with you here.

The pattern is called Disappearing Four Patch, as you start with a four patch, make a few cuts through the block, rearrange the pieces and re-sew it together. Quick and easy. Many thanks to Kathleen D for piecing the top and some extra blocks, to Jean K for adding one more row to bring it up to single bed size and for preparing the binding, to Sue R for donating the nice cozy flannel backing, to Gwenda M for doing the quilting and to the Nashwaaksis Lions Club for covering  the cost of the quilting, batting and thread. It was my pleasure to add the final stitches by doing the binding on this quilt. Such a great community project!

EDIT: You can see another of the beautiful quilts my guild has just completed and donated to a worthy cause by clicking here. 

Piece!

A new Blog to check out

My friend Gail and I have started a new blog together - for our Guild. The Fredericton Quilters' Guild is in it's 28th year. We've tossed around the idea of having a website over the last year or two, but no one seemed interested in getting it up and running. So this summer, Gail suggested we do a blog. We have only just begun, as the Carpenters sang.... We have great plans, for posting pics from monthly meetings and Show and Tells, Shows and so on. There isn't a lot there yet, but do go have a look and leave a comment to tell us what you think. Click here .

The main purpose is for info for our own members, but there will be some "eye candy" for you to enjoy as well. For our first meeting last Tuesday we were very fortunate to have a very talented group of ladies from Moncton do a presentation for us. They have done some very interesting projects together, to stretch themselves and "work out of the comfort zone".. so to speak. Their work is very impresssive and they gave us such an entertaining evening... thanks Sistas! So check out the new Blog to see the works of "The Divine Stitchers of the Yo-Yo Sistahood".
