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.

Make a Friendship Braid Quilt Using the Binding Tool

You have to click on the YouTube on the bottom right corner to watch video.

I purchased the binding tool at the AAQG Show to make this quilt.  Check out all of the videos that Missouri Star Quilt Co.  puts out.  They are wonderful and full of ideas for using all of those Jelly Rolls, Layer Cakes and Charm Packs that you purchased and don't know what to do with.

I made a few more purchases as you can see below.

$2 Batik FQs, a lighted seam ripper, a little screwdriver that I have already used, a lining pattern for some baskets that I purchased a few years ago, a Horned Toad pattern (can't wait to make these), and a flexible light.

A sewing machine cover, thread catcher and a machine pad with pockets.
