cutting kits and calculating borders
February 2020 |
Friday and Saturday, I joined a group of local quilters to make quilts for the Laramie Hospice Home. Both days, my "job" was to sew borders on some donated quilt tops that did not meet the size requirements. Kathleen calculated and cut the fabric for the borders, and I attached them to the tops. I added borders to seven tops and sewed binding on one side of a finished quilt.

sew day for Laramie Hospice Home
February 2020 |
Several women were sewing quilt tops from kits or from supplies that they brought from home. Others were hand-tacking the bindings on two quilts. I believe by the end of the two days, the group had 12 - 15 tops and backings ready for the longarm quilters and two quilts bound and labeled and ready for donation.
I gave the group
Comfort Quilt so it could be quilted and donated to the Laramie Hospice Home. Hospice officials told the group they serve nearly 100 patients each year.
Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful idea - and to join a group to do it makes it more fun!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I bet that was challenging, adding borders to uneven quilts, but it all comes out just fine in the end! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteSo nice! What a great thing to do.
ReplyDeleteA hive of busy bees!
