Year of Making Stuff: Week 7

Kids Quilts is a project run by members of the Bloomington Quilters’ Guild to collect quilts for kids and donate them to different service organizations throughout our community including the police department and Bloomington Hospital.  Most of these fabrics are left over from a quilt I made for Gina’s oldest years ago (though the red also showed up in two other quilts too, one for baby Malcolm and is the binding for Claire’s No Peek Nine Patch).  Making a donation quilt was a great way to spend a cold weekend, and felt good to spend the time doing something like this yesterday while today I will camp out and watch the Oscars. Though there may be some knitting in front of the tv too.

My Oscar ballot is filled out and my annual bet with Ashley is on.  To the victor goes a handmade item….
