Broaden your quilting horizons and be one of the first 5 people to turn in a group of three (3) or more completed quilts or quilt tops to the Quilted Comforts Chairperson.
A spool of variegated thread and the warm feeling that comes from doing a good deed!
The QCC recommends,
| | "Expand your design skills, and/or your piecing skills, turn in a grouping of 3 or more tops. If you want to expand your quilt finishing skills, such as binding or quilting, turn in a grouping of 3 or more completed quilts. "Feel free to show off your work during the meeting's 'Show and Tell' session. Get your quilting friends involved and turn in a grouping of 3 or more tops or quilts from your afternoon quilting group. "And when you have completed your 3 tops or quilts, hang them up, or over the sofa, take a step back, and compare and contrast how they turned out. Did using a darker purple in quilt #2 enhance the pattern from a distance? Does the denser quilting change the hand of the quilt? What do you like or dislike about each variation? Take notes. Perhaps you will be enthused to do a new variation on the theme for your next grouping of 3 tops or quilts. "Enjoy the journey, stop and see and smell the flowers. Take that path less taken, and see where you end up. Above all, have fun!" | |
Please note: Quilt kits are always available for the asking from the QCC. If you want to play with design, the QCC can also provide you with fabric. Just let them know what you are looking for with respect to color and quantity. You can also request completed tops to practice your quilting or tying skills (yes, tied quilts are acceptable). And remember -- it is best to use a flannel backing on comfort quilts!
