I just finished up binding two charity quilts… Â Here is Ruby showing them off.
The pattern is an Atkinson Design pattern called Lucky Stars. Â You can find it here. Â I made one a quilt using the pattern years ago for our daughter Kayla using the pattern. Â It’s a wonderful pattern that’s great for beginners or gifted quilts..or anyone for that matter.
The two quilts are lap size. Â It was nice I loaded one backing in the machine and machine quilted both quilts. Â That was a time saver.
On one quilt I did a floral stipple…
On the other I did a swirl with a hook. Â I used pastel thread on the top and a cream on the back.
I bound them both with donated blue fabric.
The envelopes with the quilt tops got mixed up upstairs but I am almost positive that these are from Judy Fox in LaCrosse, WI. Â Thanks so much Judy. Â One of the area towns is putting together baskets for shut ins for Christmas and we are hoping to send these off to them.
I love being able to team up with blog readers to do good for others. Â As always if you have quilt tops to share, I’ll gladly quilt them and send them on to worthy charitable projects.
Today, we are hooking up with……Confessions of a Fabric Addict, Link a Finish Friday, Freedom Fridays, and Crazy Mom Quilts.
These quilts are so pretty. They should make someone very happy. Thanks for all that you do for others. It is a good thing to have such a generous heart. Happy Holidays!!
I love the idea of doing baskets for shut-ins. I’m sure your beautiful quilts will be much appreciated!
These quilts just speak comfort. They are sure to be welcomed by someone! I love that pattern btw.
Oooo! I have that pattern! I’ve never used it, but I bought it because there was a sample made from it in a quilt shop which used ’30s prints which I thought would be lovely for a granddaughter. I’d better dig it out of my drawer an get going on it.

I also have that pattern but have never used it, the quilts are lovely!
Merry Christmas!
Jo, I am so impressed that volunteer to finish so many quilts for charity. It’s a wonderful thing. I don’t think anyone does that around here (upstate NY, near Rochester).
I also have that pattern and haven’t used it yet. Will need to try it soon.
Thanks for sharing! I have this pattern too and the fabrics you chose are so pretty! Also, I get to see the scale from the top picture with your dog. It’s bigger than I thought! Thanks again!
