Quilts

I had some fabric in my sewing room that ended up in the corner - fabric that I labeled for humanitarian use. I knew that our stake was doing a quilt drive and it gave me the perfect opportunity to put some quilts together and clean out my sewing room. I had to get a bit creative in how I put the quits together because I had a limited amount of each fabric. I also made sure I did some boy quilts, since not as many as those get done.
My biggest challenge was tying them. I usually machine quilt, so tying was a new experience. Luckily the quilts were small enough that I could do them on the floor and I didn't need frames. I tied all five quilts in two days. Yep, my fingers hurt. And, of course, I did it during the hottest week of the year. At least, I know these quilts are warm!
But, they are done - out of my house and on to kids who need them. Enoch and Kate kept asking who the quilts were for. I told them that some kids don't have any blankets and are cold. They were baffled. It never occurred to them that some kids don't have blankets. It was a reminder that I need to spend more time in our family doing service and being grateful.
