More for April

Not much business in this week's meeting, other than a discussion on the need for more wadding, and backing fabrics, and other quilting supplies.  We have a lot of fabric donations but not much of it is large enough to use as backing for our quilts.  And wadding disappears at a great rate.

Quilts were dropped off to Concord Palliative Care Unit last week.  These were well received as they were getting low on supply.

We selected some lap quilts today to be delivered to Greenwich Hospital Palliative Care unit. 

Some interesting and unusual quilts came in this week.

First cab off the rank for Show and Tell this week is one made by Lynn M and donated to us.  Thank you Lynn for your continued support.


Some sweet little baby booties.....



and some beanies and scarves.


You could be forgiven for thinking these are interesting prints on a fabric....


But just look at this tricky cutting and piecing!  Isn't it fabulous?  The careful cutting on the pattern repeat makes this look like a single piece of printed fabric.  The technique is called Magic Stack and Whack.
















And here is a crumb quilt.  Have you ever made one??


Just take a look at how tiny these pieces are!








Lucky last is a gorgeous log cabin quilt in purples and mauves.
