A long-time quilting friend, who leads one of my donation groups, recently bought a longarm quilting machine. She has offered to quilt our donations for Flying Horse Farm! So in future I’ll have pictures of the tops but not of the finished quilts, because she is willing to bind and deliver the quilts as well! What a deal!
Our group recently had a retreat, and that’s an additional story. I had cut out one project for each day of the retreat, thinking I could sew without having to get in the way of others trying to use the cutting area. That part worked out fine. However, I ran out of projects before I ran out of retreat time!!!
Luckily we all bring shoeboxes of fabric we no longer want and everyone takes something for a future project. I went to those boxes and found that a friend had donated a set of coordinating fat quarters she’d changed her mind about! This quilt is the result.
I had to wait until I got home to add the border because the retreat was 40 minutes from the nearest quilt store, in a lovely rural area. This isn’t the house where we stayed, just the neighborhood.
And here’s the quilt top I made from batiks I cut ahead of the retreat. I was able to finish that top and send it home with the friend who will quilt and donate it!
And that’s all we’ll see of these two tops, because after they’re quilted they’ll be donated directly!
