I just got back yesterday from a Southwest vacation of a few days. First stop was the Garden of Quilts Show in Lehi, Utah. I took a ton of photos that I need to sort through and add to a album on Shutterfly. That will take a few days to do.
The day before we left, I looked up the vendors that will be at the show (in a Show Barn building away from the gardens) and there were several charities listed. One of them was Wrap the World with Quilts and on their website they were collecting 12" finished quilt blocks (12 1.2" unfinished size). So I made 2 quilt blocks to take with me to donate to them when I saw them at the vendor show. These were the blocks that I donated to them.
I used my "Love" die cut and a sunflower appliqué that I cut out by hand. All batik fabric. |
For this block I used a large flower appliqué die cut and a circle appliqué die cut to create the flower, along with the "Hope" die cut too. Batik fabric on a hand dyed fabric background. When I handed the blocks in at the booth, the woman loved them, especially the words. She had other block that were hung on a folding clothes drying rack and she clipped mine in the front. I took a photo of it. I donated the 2 blocks that said "Love" and "Hope".Please click on this website and go to the SUNFLOWER BLOCKS page (at the top heading) and read about this project and help out by making a block or 2 or 3 or more! You can mail your blocks to the address provided. |
Those blocks are gorgeous! Someone is going to be truly blessed.
