Quilts and cookies

 
This is what I've been working on.
A quilt to be auctioned off!
The proceeds will go to help a young lady
heading to Canada to minister there.
 
The design is simple....
but I like it!
 
I used lots of WHITE strips.....
different widths and lengths...
along with...
lots of REDS from my stash.
;)
 
Hoping to get it sandwiched soon.
I imagine some machine quilted lines
and THEN......
some NICE BIG RED hand quilted stitches!
 
Oh, you know me!
I'm always imagining BIG hand quilted stitches.
I just don't always ADD THEM in the end!!!
LOL!

I'm also making cookies.
 
Son's away at college.
It HAS to be done once in a WHILE!!
 
Nothing says I LOVE YOU
like a BIG box of homemade cookies!
;)

  9. I just sandwiched a similarly-pieced quilt, Beth, and am wondering how to quilt it. It's a charity quilt for our guild to give away. Yours looks lovely! Also, I thought of you this morning while driving to work through a neighboring town - I saw a sign with the name "Shibley" of someone running for office, and you popped into my head! Happy to visit your blog!
