H2H Final Count

I was really on a roll this year.  I used up flannel, panels, and lots of big chunks of fabric.  I made 33 quilts this year.  Here is where they will go:

    Little Lambs        14 (I already mailed these)

    Local charities     13 (delivering next week)

   Michigan charities 6  (my old guild)

I will be travelling to Michigan the end of June and the end of July so I hope to get more done for them by then.  I still have several cut out ready to sew.

Here are the last quilts I finished.  The lighting was terrible because is was so cloudy.  

This quilt I used up all the fish fabric and the turquoise.  I even pieced the back to use it up.  It felt good to get it out of my stash.  I believe I've had it for about 10 years. This is going to the local charity.

                                                        Back

The next two quilts were from a Debbie Mumm panel and some coordinating fabrics.  Again, I believe this yardage is at least 8-10 years old. One is for the local charity and the other for Michigan charity.  

I had two of these panels.  They are both going to the local charity.

This is really hard to see but the center is a cheater fabric double wedding ring print.  I wish the picture was better.  Its really pretty soft pastels.  This is going to the Michigan charity.

This challenge has really got me inspired to keep going.  Now that I have a local charity and the group in Michigan I can work on quilts all year.  

Thanks to Sarah at confessionsofafabricaddict.blogspot.com for the push every year.

H2H check in #2

It's time for check-in number 2 for H2H.  I've been busy doing customer stuff and store displays so not much time for charity quilts.  But I did manage to get five simple ones done.  I found a stack of 6" squares I won a long time ago so I made two quilts, one out of a stack of flannel squares, and did a leader/ender with 2 1/2" squares.  The buffalo plaid quilt was cut out last year so I finished it up. These quilts are all going the Michigan in June for the quild to give to the chemo center there.    I hope to have time to do a few more quick ones with squares.  I have a drawer full of 5" squares that need to be used up. I also pulled fabrics to make some more buffalo plaid quilts.  These are fast to make and I love the look.  

This brings my total up to 27 quilts done this year (so far).

2021 H2H

 Well it's a new start for H2H.  This year I'm focusing on using up panels, kits, and the never ending supply of flannel scraps. Not only am I going to send to one of the H2H charities but I've made contact with a group in the neighboring county here in Georgia that donates to children programs and nursing homes.  And a guild in Michigan as contacted me to donate.  They donate to children and chemo patients.  Looks like I'll be busy!  So here is where I'm at so far - 22.  There are several duplicate ones since I was using up panels.  

Why oh why do I have so many panels?  Oh well, glad they are quilted and can be used rather than sitting in a cupboard.

These are all panels.  The first three I had two of each.  I backed each with flannel from the never ending supply.

This was a fabric book panel so rather than make the book it is now a quilt.

Loved this flannel panel.  I don't know why I never made anything with it.  Glad it's going to be used.

This is a panel too.  It was so light I couldn't get a good picture of it but isn't the quilting cool?

And here are the flannel ones so far.  The first one I made two because I had lots of the flannel.

This was a kit I bought on sale from Connecting Threads.  It was fast and easy.

And finally this one.  I started this in 1991.  I don't know why I never finished it but yeah some little boy will love it.
