Another Donation Quilt and Lots of Stuff!

I finished another donation quilt for the CPS kids in our County.  This is my third and final one for this Christmas.  It was quick and easy, and turned out okay I think.  Our quilting bee leader keeps telling me, "Some kid will love it!"  I hope so.  (Double click on the pictures to enlarge.)

Our church quilters made 10 flannel blankets for our newly decorated church nursery --- 5 pink and 5 blue, about 38" x 30".   Someone gave us the printed fabrics, and we bought flannel backings to match.  They are folded in half in the next picture.   They are so soft. The nursery workers were glad to get them.

Last week I hosted a little luncheon (veggie soup and cornbread) for my pastor and his wife, and also the two ladies who helped with the 4-patch Stack and Whack Anniversary quilt we made for the pastor.  They were really surprised and very appreciative.  It was made from the fabric used on the tables for his first anniversary dinner (same fabric was used for our  raffle quilt for the Youth Dept. monies for church camp).  It is 68" x 49", just a large throw for their couch, or whatever they choose.

 This is the fabric we started with:  (I love how the blocks above turned out from this!)

I finally got the Cheerleader quilt delivered to my little friend.  She ran up to me at church last Sunday and said, "I LOVE my quilt!"  I'm so glad she likes it.

 For me, I just had to quilt this patriotic panel.  I really need to re-work the binding, but that may have to wait until next June!  It wants to wave on the edges a bit, but hey, it's a flag, isn't it? *giggle*  Otherwise, I love it, of course!

I'm working on a couple of other gifts for Christmas; hope I can finish them tomorrow and then be finished with quilting/sewing projects so I can get on with Christmas cleaning and decorating.  I'm running very late on that.  Have I been busy, or what???

Next Saturday I'll be showing my " Texas Wildflowers and Birdies " and my "This Then Is Texas " quilts in a nearby small show.  One of my quilting buddies is entering a couple of her small quilts too; it will be her first time to show.  I'm so glad she decided to participate.

I really need a day or two to just relax, but that won't be happening for a while, like January 15, maybe?!

I've been enjoying reading about and seeing lots of pretty quilts from all you blogging buddies!   Keep it up!
