Text of the page (random words):
the teenage quilt i featured on day one i came across a children s charm pack i remember buying it at a small quilt show in harrogate in the north of england and it was at a time when there wasn t a lot of pre cuts about and certainly not for children when i got home however i discovered the shop had made it up themselves and it was so disappointing i ended up binning some of the fabrics which were dull and dowdy and certainly not children s fabrics there were some nice ones but they were relegated to a box anyway i got them out counted them and had an idea if i cut some squares to match in i would have enough to make a children s quilt using a pattern i had never made before so here is my finished quilt a split nine patch the fabrics i added were the two purple spots the blue spot and the pink floral which has cute little ladybirds on why haven t i made this pattern up before it s so quick and easy but looks like i did loads of work well it does to me anyway to be honest i just cut it up on sunday yes five days ago i have never made a quilt that fast before i tell you monday i stitched the nine patch blocks together and cut them into four tuesday i rearranged the pieces and stitched them all together again wednesday i made the back hang on and i ll show you it in a minute i m in the flow layered and quilted it yesterday yes yesterday i made the binding machined it on and hand stitched it on the back honestly it s a good job i m retired i would never have managed it if i had to go out to work now you know why i am running late with my replies but i will try and catch up today promise this is the back i found 80 cm of a disney print i had bought to make a little changing mat for my grandson but didn t get around to it i cut five strips as wide as i could and left a little extra on the two end ones i calculated what size the red ones needed to be and just sewed the strips together i used more of the red solid for the binding it s more for a toddler to me but when he grows if he feels the front is too babyish he can always turn it over and have it as a strip quilt the front is for a boy or a girl really but i think the back looks more boyish i wouldn t mind making this pattern again i can t believe i have never made it before after quilting for so many years now for our special announcement when i asked janice to join me in this blog hop we had no idea how much everyone would get on board and enjoy the ethos of quilting for charity in a tribute to paula we are overwhelmed with the wonderful positive response therefore we have decided to do it all

comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday 7 may 2020 creating a quilted legacy day two this is day two of the hop to pay tribute to paulab she would have been thrilled by the great response and all the wonderful quilts which will be donated in her honour i hope you have been enjoying it i loved all the visiting yesterday and seeing the quilts everyone has been making for various charities i realise they won t be delivered just yet at least we can t in the uk but as soon as the restrictions are lifted there will be a plethora of quilts ready to be delivered i have a feeling that they will be needed more than ever sadly there are many many quilters like paula who make numerous quilts for charity some are taking part in this hop but some don t blog so you won t know about most of them their contribution is invaluable and deserves recognition today i am featuring quilts by three quilters who make charity quilts but do not blog i m very happy that they wanted to join in anyway which is wonderful remember to read right to the end of the post to discover who else is participating today and find out all about the prizes on offer and how to enter i will feature the quilters and their quilts in the order they were received and first up is marianne from lakewood ranch florida marianne has used a multitude of scraps for this colourful quilt there are some lovely fabrics there i especially like the fussy cut kitty it is quilted either side of the seam lines in both directions which works great with the design a lovely dark fabric with splashes of colour like confetti is used for the binding which frames it beautifully mariannes quilt will be donated to jack s basket the second quilter featured is rebecca from la crosse wi rebecca just loves making quilts for those in need and plans to make more this year rebecca makes quilts for project linus quilts of valour covered in love and 4patches4hope as well as others this was made for mercyful quilts in ca as part of the hands2help project it s a large lap size almost a twin single slice quilt made from a collection from bluprint for the hospice program i must say i do like the quilting rebecca hopes it brings comfort to someone who needs it to let them know there are people who care isn t that a lovely sentiment rebecca also made this lovely bright quilt for a local charity auction which she participates in every year the third participating quilter is margaret who used to blog as maggie stitcher and lives in the uk margaret is another quilter who spends most of her time stitching for various charities i met margaret through paula who had a good friendship with margaret and often spoke fondly of her this is a small 36 inch quilt made from a moda charm pack which margaret made for a local charity fundraiser the border sets it off beautifully and the salmon pink first border fabric is used for the binding nice quilting margaret i think i could manage that design think being the operative word margaret also makes quilts for care leavers and several other charities and has recently been making scrub bags for the local hospital margaret doesn t stop there she also makes cat mats these have been made for the local cat rescue centre margaret tells me she has quite a few more made up but she has run out of wadding so they won t be finished until after lockdown thank you so much for participating marianne rebecca and margaret and do pop back i m sure there will be lots of very complimentary comments on your wonderful quilts here is the list of the

smiles from kate at 08 00 43 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday 6 may 2020 creating a quilted legacy blog hop following in paula s footsteps day one hello and welcome today we are celebrating the life of paula budinger a wonderful quilter blogger and friend who sadly died earlier this year the hop is taking place over three days beginning today which would have been paula s 79th birthday paula of paulab quilts began quilting in 1980 she was a consistent supporter of multiple quilt charities such as project linus jack s basket and covered in love what better way to honour paula than a blog hop where all the quilts showcased are destined for charity if you would like to read more about paula you might like to read my earlier post or read paula s blog you will find the list of all the wonderful bloggers participating at the end of this post along with a full list of sponsors prizes and eligibility i decided to make my quilt for project linus i checked their website for size guidelines and chose to make a teenage quilt which is 42 inches square or up to 42 x 48 inches i found it so difficult choosing the fabrics especially as we are in lockdown i just didn t have what i wanted or not enough then i came across a black and white jelly roll or part of one anyway i had just enough to make a quilt 42 x 46 inches although i suspect it s actually an inch or so wider of course my husband was holding it the wrong way when i took this snap the strips are horizontal rather than vertical but no matter all in all it looks crisp and modern for a teenager i used a bright red binding to compliment the black and white and quilted it using a variegated king tut thread in red green and yellow using organic wavy lines after all it s meant to be cuddly luckily i had a length of a lovely blue green solid for the back it was a better choice than the florals and stuff hanging around in my cupboard believe me here is the full list of all the other bloggers participating please call in and check them out wednesday may 6 karen kaholly kate smiles from kate wendy pieceful thoughts of my quilting life bernie needle and foot linda my sew
