Here are the last two quilts that I’ve finished up for Moore, Oklahoma. Â These came from a blog reader as quilt tops. Â I machine quilted them and bound them. Â I was glad this one came with extra fabric for binding. Â I don’t think I would have had fabric to match.
I used Maxi-Lock® Swirl – Variegated Thread 3,000 yds – #50 Lemon Chiffon
This star quilt I just used a tan thread and did a big loop design. Â I found a good blue for the binding. Â My non-sewing daughter Kalissa says that the binding should always be the darkest color in the quilt. Â For this one I used binding that was a shade darker but it has a print to it that is the same color as the lighter blue sashing.
All of the quilts are now shipped and on their way to Oklahoma. Â Let’s just hope we can get a month or two to pass before another tragedy hits. Â I am always accepting quilt tops and will quilt them for you and ship them on to anywhere where tragedy strikes. Â It is nice to get them in advance so I can work on them and have them ready to go when needed.
If you want to send a top or two you can contact me at rogjok@iowatelecom.net.
Thanks to all who have donated so far. Â I feel honored that you trusted me with your quilt. Â Today I am hooking up with Free Motion by the River.
Those are gorgeous — love the yellow background!
What nice quilts! Do you know what pattern was used for the quilt with the yellow background fabric?
Two more beauties on their way… Great finishes – both! Keep up the good work, Jo!
Such generosity, on all of your parts – the seamstresses & you, the quilter (& binder).
Many hand make light work. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. Makes me want to go shopping for a longarm and do this too. I still don;t know how you manage to get so much done! Do you sleep?
What lovely work you do!
