Wings Of Hope Gifts

 Every year my friend Patti and I make a little gift for breast cancer survivors.  There is a soup supper where the women are honored. 

This year we made jar openers.  They are super simple but such a great gift as it's always nice to have a little help opening a jar.

The pattern we used came from this website, Happiest Camper.  The directions are here.  The fabric I used came from my friend Jane's stash.  It was so nice of her to donate this fabric for our project.

Cheddar and Navy

I had some Cheddar and Navy fabric that I bought when Prairie Start Quilts was going out of business, so I have had this fabric in my stash for some time. I had 4 one yard pieces of fabric which worked out perfect for making a 3 yard quilt.

One of the pieces I have is a solid navy I will use for the binding.  While on my bus trip, I found some fabric for the back.  The pattern used is called "Porch Rails" and it's from this book:

There are a number of patterns I would like to make from this book.  I may kit them up this winter.  I like having a plan for some of the fabric I have purchased over the years.

Hello!

Hello!  I'm back from an unscheduled absence.  I had a busy time with Retreats and bus trips and train trips.

I started out in the middle of September with the first of my Retreats.  Then I had another Retreat the following weekend.  A bus trip the weekend after that and a train trip after the bus trip!  It's been go, go, go.  Lots of fun!

I got caught up on my blocks for the BOM that I'm doing with "A Quilting Life".    

More to come tomorrow!
