January 20, 2014 Quiltathon at the UUAC

We had another great quiltathon today. I took an inventory of the quilts in the works before today, so I could track our progress. I haven't counted what I brought home yet, but I know there are at least five finished quilts that people brought in, several tops that people brought to the quiltathon, many tops that were sandwiched, many more tops that were made during the day, two quilts with bindings attached ready to finish, one quilt tied, kits assembled, and more. I am so grateful for the support that this project has received, today and this year, from all the people who have come to work, who have helped promote the project, and the many friends who stop by to see how we are doing. It's a rare treat to be able to spend a whole day together, and to be working together on this worthy cause.

I was busy so I didn't take many pictures, but here are three illustrating excellent work by Carline, Tobi and Margaret. Carline and Tobi are holding quilt tops that they finished today, and Margaret completely finished this child's quilt (in the afternoon, after finishing more than one top in the morning!), which will go to Project Linus, an organization that provides blankets to children in need of comfort.
