Nursing Home Quilt and Preemie Blankets

Another Nursing Home Quilt finish and two more Preemie Blankets for the Children's Hospital.
My Quilt Guild asks that each member contribute a minimum of two quilts a year to be used in a nursing home, hospital or disaster relief.  Since I joined the Charity Bee, I have been much better about meeting and exceeding that goal. Sewing with other like-minded quilters is always fun.

Flannel Preemie Quilts

Flannel Rag Quilt for Linus Quilts

A flannel Rag Quilt that I finished yesterday.  It will be donated to Linus Quilts through the WHQG. I am a member of the Charity Bee and we are trying to use up all of the flannel in storage. I added the plane and kitty flannel from my stash.

Tote Bag

I made this Tote Bag to be sold in the Guild Shop at our Quilt Show in 2019. A bunch of denim was donated to our Guild and the Charity Bee made totes from it.
My first time to make an interfaced and lined tote. It turned out pretty good if I do say so myself.

18" x 22"

Lining with interfaced pocket.

Jar Openers

I have joined the Charity Bee of WHQG.  We are in charge of making the free gifts that will be given to each attendee of the 2019 Show.  In the past, we have given out felt needle holders or totes.  In 2019, we will give a jar opener to each attendee. The Goal is 1000 by the end of the year.  Since I am new to the Bee, I have only completed 40, but around 600-700 have been made so far. There are about 10 members in the Bee, and we make them in lots of 20.

HINT:  Place the rubber on the bottom, when topstitching and place a piece of old pattern tissue underneath.  Do not put the tissue all the way to the stitching line and you will not have to tear it out afterward.
