Some very tragic news... a family in church (sits behind and across from my pew) had a tragic accident happen last week. Mom and toddler (being held) were burned while trying to save 3yr old who they heard screaming in kitchen. Young daughter apparently pushed chair up to the stove and climbed on top (did her foot turn on the burner-I'm presuming gas). Her clothes caught fire and mom tried to put them out. Older daughter went to Boston burn center, had surgery. We will be sending some kid quilts for her to choose (for both girls AND for whomever is her 'roommate' at the hospital and this quilt below will go to the family. Said some major prayers for them!

This poor quilt had some 'bubbles' in the outer area (it was pinned well and I didn't take out the pins until the stitching was finished- still.... Sorry ladies that had to rip stitches out). I repinned it and will finish the quilt before the next meeting. I want to name it "Tiler/Tyler" since it looks like floor tiles.
"Autumn Heartstring Panel" needed a label (done) and the binding flipped and hand stitched. Norma worked on that with Janet and Norma said she'll finish it at home. (thanks)
This little ditty is one of my personal ones. Needed to take a photo of the side pieces before attaching them. (The girls wanted to know what I"VE been doing with my extra days off (semi retired now). The outer borders are just selvedge edges sewn to a muslin foundation.
This one was finished by Norma over the last month. Just needed a label and done!

Nice kids horse blanket.... Janet G made this for Jane's "project Linus " meeting on Mar 23rd. We'll get it finished for her. Thanks, Janet.
And of course, the ONLY way this "jar Quilt" will get done (have we had it 5 or 6 yrs in the making?), is if we work on it a little EVERY mtg! This meeting we added the top row and made the sides of the cupboard long enough. All the shelves are done (I guess we can un-tag the rows now, LOL). Good job, ladies!
