Freedom Quilt

Putting these blocks together is the PERFECT way (I think)

to celebrate this time of year here in the U.S.

Thanks to everyone who sent blocks to be included.

MOST of the blocks are here......

There are a few more that will be puzzled into a SECOND quilt!

They will be quilted and bound

and then sent off to the wounded warrior project.

Isn't it beautiful???

I love it!

collaboration

Our Collaborative quilt top

is GROWING!

It also changes every day

as I lay the blocks out.

It's SO fun playing with blocks!

;)

Thanks to everyone participating

in this JOINT effort

for The Wounded Warrior project!

It's going to be a WONDERFUL quilt!

(or quilts??)

One more day of mail collection...

and I'll start sewing some SEAMS!

*******

Here's the link to the original request for blocks.

Let's make a QUILT.

Wednesday

I've been doing some SLOW stitching.

This little applique project gets pulled out once in a while

and I add a few more leaves.

THIS time....

I'm going to try and stick WITH it

and get ALL the blocks done.

That's the goal....We'll see what happens.

I've also been getting some stars in the mail.

THANK YOU for your help

Sharon and Selina!

I'll wait for a few more patriotic blocks before piecing them together.

They are going to feel RIGHT at home in this quilt

being donated to the wounded warriors project.

I participated in a FUN trade a couple of weeks ago.

I sent a little zipper bag....

and received this cute little pouch in return!!!

Thank you Brenda!!

Happy sewing friends!!!

Monday Making

After receiving an email requesting quilts for

the WOUNDED warrior project...

I was inspired to make a QUILT!

I opened my orphan box....

but...

I found I don't have enough patriotic!!!!

Not near enough to make a good sized quilt.

;/

Guess I'll be making some red ,white and BLUE this week!!!

If you're interested in helping out...

I'd be happy to include a star block from you.

Just leave a comment and I'll send my address.

I've had fun in the past

putting LOTS of blog-LOVE into charity quilts.

You might have a patriotic orphan looking for a home.

That's what I'm hoping to make THIS week!

What are you up to this week??

I call it Monday Making.

It's always fun to share 

and linky parties make it easy.
