Donation Quilt for Guild Show

West Houston Quilters Guild has a Quilt Show every other year.  I belong to a Bee called "The Monday Night Divas".  Each Bee is expected to contribute a quilt or basket filled with goodies to the Tin Can Raffle.  We decided to take some extra "scrappy" blocks from our exchange and make a quilt.

Here it is without the borders.

Finished with the borders and binding.

I think it was 60" x 75".

Pinned a hanging sleeve on so it could be easily removed.

The fold is intentional.  It accommodates a thick hanging strip without distorting the quilt.

Attached a label, so that winner would have information on creators.

Made a matching pillowcase for transport and to be used with the quilt.

Hopefully, the winner will enjoy it for many years to come.

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.

More Jar Openers

Twenty more Jar Openers for the Quilt Show.  We were shooting for 1000 and last I heard we were over.  These will be given to each attendee of the West Houston Quilters Show in March 2019.

The Donation Quilt is Quilted

The Donation Quilt is back from the longarm quilter.  It is beautiful.  Betty did a wonderful job.  Now I just need to trim it and sew on the binding, which is one of my favorite parts.

Donation to Quilt Show 2019

The Monday Night Divas had a block exchange in 2017.  We made extra blocks to use in a charity quilt and to use in a quilt to donate to the WHQG's 2019 Quilt Show.  This quilt will be our donation to the Show's Tin Can Raffle.
