Ready To Deliver

These charity quilts and knitted items are ready to deliver.  I have met my goal, that the projects would all be completed before October 15th!  Yeah!  I love using my craft to help those that are less fortunate than me.

Knitted Items

These blankets will be donated to Casa Teresa (a home for unwed mothers).  They have such a wonderful program!



This was my adventure knitting mitered blocks.  It's made of cotton and is so soft and cuddly. Used Love That Cotton purchased at Hobby Lobby. The cotton will launder well and wear well. I chose the traditional baby colors: pink, blue, yellow and green.  Sorry,  I'm not a gray baby person.



This is a car seat cover that is also baby soft.  Once again, it's a traditional baby pink!  This item is made with soft baby acrylic yarn. Any cute baby girl would love to snuggle in this car seat cover but would probably fall asleep with this soft blanket covering them.


This sunflower yellow quilt was a great design for my beginning knitting skills.  Love the design and the texture that the acrylic yarn made.




Quilted Items:                     
My heart goes out to children who have stressful homes and unsafe childhoods.  This crayon colored quilt will be donated to Western Youth Services.  They assist families who have unstable homes.



This is a split nine pattern that I adapted from Missouri Star Quilt Company tutorial. The back reminds me of gum balls!

Lots of swirls to quilt.  Happy colors, happy quilt.


Veterans in Long Beach Veteran's Hospital need our support and care.  I love star quilts and this one has loads of stars.   The fabric was donated to me by fabric designer Jamie Fingal.  





Love the secondary red and white hour glass squares and the added white stars are so special !  God Bless America


So with my goal met, now I can work towards Christmas!  Yikes my friends tell me there are only 10  Wednesdays till Christmas. But I love fall and Halloween too!  Goodness!
