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.

Final H2H for 2020

It really seems like this year's H2H went fast.  My goal was to find old store displays, shop hop quilts, and make some really quick quilts to use of yardage.  And of course continue trying to use up my flannel.  I did manage to get rid of some large pieces of fabric and that feels really good.  My goal this year was 25 and I have 28.  Finishing up the old displays and making fast quilts helped this year.

So my numbers are 7 for Little Lambs and 21 for Quilts of Compassion

Stack and whack store display from a class I taught

Flannel scraps

More flannel scraps

This first quilt is a stack and whack with pillow case.  The rest of these quilts are just a large novelty print with borders added.

Shop Hop quilt that just needed to be quilted and bound.

Store display just needed to be bound.

More flannel scraps

 Quick baby quilt

More flannel scraps leftover from a store display

The next two were store displays that just needed quilting and binding.

H2H 2020

I can't believe it's time for H2H again.  My goal is 25 quilts again this year.  I'm going through quilt tops and kits that need finishing to donate this year.  Here is my first group.

This was a top someone gave me.  It only needed to be quilted but I've had it for at least 5 years.  Glad its done!

This is a flannel yellow brick road pattern that has been cut out for a couple years.

Flannel again.  The pattern is Walk About.

This one was fun.  It is 2 1/2" squares and background fabric.  It's called Twirling at the Disco.  Its a free pattern at http://www.sameliasmum.com/2020/02/twirling-at-disco-quilt-free-pattern.html

Left over cuddle and blocks from another quilt.

Another flannel Walk About.  I used up all my gold flannel pieces but glad they are out of the stash.

Cute fabric I just couldn't cut up.  I think it makes a cute baby quilt.

The mountain laurel is blooming.  This is the first time in the three years we have lived it.  It's beautiful.
