February Finishes and a Giveaway for March

Birthday Quilts

I was able to finish 3 quilts in February and one so far in March. One of the February quilts still needs to be bound. I am trying to make a quilt for each one of the grand-kids this year, not huge ones but one they can snuggle in while watching TV.  There are 23 kids and so far I have done 5 quilts. I don't have any more birthdays till April but it has 4, so maybe I can get ahead. The 3 yard quilt patterns from Donna Robertson work great, except I have been making them a little larger than her pattern. You can find her pattern books at Inchwormfabrics.


March is National Quilt Month

"Since 1992, the third Saturday of March has been set aside as National Quilting Day. According to the Quilt Alliance, this observance was inspired by the Kentucky Heritage Quilt Society and their “Quilter’s Day Out” celebration of quilt making in the state. The National Quilting Association voted to make the day a national event at their show in 1991."

What would a celebration be without a giveaway. I will start my giveaway with a fat quarter bundle of 5 tone on tone cream  fabrics and add something new each week and I will pick a winner or winners at the end of the month.
