The next batch of Quilty hugs

 Are well into the finishing stage. 

This was last years Moda’s breast cancer quilt.  Love it!



A couple of blocks in this next quilt are from Kitty from Alefthandedquilter.

And in the last post, the second set of photos at least two of those tops came from Kitty.  Thanks Kitty. 



I pulled this top off my top rack and quilted it after adding a fun Christmas cow border.




Nancy F donated this fun quilt top complete with a backing and binding made.  I just couldn’t resist quilting it.  Simple and so pretty!

I did quilt a couple love (kid) quilts but I’ll save them for the next post. Slowly I seem to be getting back into the groove.  I am learning to like days where I do nothing.  For years (lots of years), that would not have been tolerated. I am so hard on myself at times.  🐸

A Quilty Update

 I arranged to drop off Quilty Hug Quilts and have started sharing them again.  For a long time I wondered about not being in the moment when a quilt is given.  It’s taken me 2 1/2 years to come to terms with this. In the end just knowing my quilts get to a cancer patient is enough.  I have grieved over this enough.  I guess this is also part of my grieving process from loosing my husband to cancer 2 1/2 years ago.  It’s time to move on….  So today I dropped off these quilts.


The quilt on the right was made by Kitty at Alefthandedquilter.  Thank you Kitty.  I backed it with very fun flannel.  Chemo patient’s often get very cold when receiving treatment.  





I have two more very close to finishes that will probably get delivered next week.  Then I can see what tops I have to quilt.  Believe me there are plenty!

I am so glad to get going again on this project that is near and dear to my heart ❤️
