I guess the summer just sucked me away. I can't believe my last blog was in April...
I think I got lost, but I found me....
I had a busy day, quilting with Gods Grace Our Hands quilting group at church. Last month we threw out the idea of making 100 quilts for our church to donate thru Lutheran World Relief. We laughed at the idea, but quickly decided to meet every Tuesday instead of the previous twice a month.
I counted today and we have 28 done, not as many as I was wishing for, but we have surpassed last years 17. So we work on.
One gal Elvina, she is either 90 or near it, she is a doll. She sits and ties for those 6 hours, always has a smile on her face and can tie a 60x80 quilt faster then you can sew the next one. She will be leaving soon for her winter in Florida, so we have to get to sewing so we can get them ready for her to tie. Two weeks ago she tied all day, took 5 home, she brought them back on Sunday and took 3 more and her son picked up another 3 the next Sunday.
Our deadline is the 2nd Sunday in October, so we sew on towards our goal.
