Warm fuzzies!!

I had warm fuzzies all day and night yesterday. I am cleaning up my donation pile of quilts, getting them quilted, bound and out the door. So yesterday since I was running errands I dropped off these 8 quilts for Project Linus. These have all actually been done for a while but I just hadn't taken the time to deliver them.  My wish for them is that they give some boy or girl a warm quilty hug.  I have shown them on the blog before after having bound them so I won't go into individual pictures this time.


 This pile of 12 yes TWELVE quilts I showed and then donated last night at our guild meeting. They will go to Neonatal. They are all about 36" square.  I have showed most of them individually as I finished them, but there are a couple that I didn't...


So here they are.  This little pink and brown one resulted in a friend who gave me a bag of scraps and orphan blocks, the center 4 patches and brown with pink sashing were from her, then I dug in my stash for the rest.


 I wanted to try out my new ruler from Hex and More ruler so I made this baby quilt.

I pieced this one so long ago I forgot where the charm pack came from or the pattern I used to piece it or if I made it up. I am sure no one else ever has this problem right ;-)  But check out the last green border quilting treatment on the top and bottom of the quilt.  A fun new design I learned from a tutorial from Kim Stotsenberg. You can see it here.

 This is from a charm pack I won at our local guild quilt show in October. I won a great door prize with 4 identical charm packs, a GC to Nancy's notions and a table runner book(perfect for me since I love to make table runners). So to show my thanks I thought I would use part of a charm pack to make this and donate it. The tutorial came from Inspiring Creations.  These little quilts are the perfect way to try out a new pattern. You don't always have to make the quilt the same size as the pattern, just make a few and turn them into a little baby quilt!!
So, for me, giving these to people in need give me such warm fuzzies and I hope it gives them just a little comfort to be wrapped in a quilty hug.

  4. well done you, like many of us, we are addicted to this wonderful craft, but only have so many beds, family and friends to give our creations to. Linus is a wonderful charity and, let's face it, a very good reason for us to justify our addiction! :)

  7. So sweet! I love seeing the stacks of quilts. I got warm fuzzies for the same reason recently. A friend took 9 crib quilts I made this year to gift to children in the isolation units at a children's hospital. It felt so good to give them a home.
