Quilts for Quebec

post signature
I grew up in St. Lambert, a city just south of Montreal, along the St. Lawrence river.  
When I heard about the senseless shootings at a Muslim Mosque in Quebec City, I was very sad.
I saw that the Montreal Modern Quilt Guild was asking for help for families of the victims.
They were requesting house blocks to make quilts, the dimensions should be 12 l/2" unfinished.
If you are able to help, here is some information.
I  made some blocks from Lori Holt's book, Vintage Farm Girl.


I went to my scrap baskets and chose some happy fabric.





I would have liked to have made more, but with limited time, I was able to make four.
I'm looking forward to seeing photos of the finished quilts.
I know that warm, homemade quilts can offer lots of comfort.

Quilty Fun Sew Along, Week 14


I made my house blocks for the Quilty Fun Sew Along.
I had some water in the iron so the fabric is a little "puckery".
My iron's not working very well right now so I think I'll exchange it for another one.


Here's my second house block, they are such fun to make!
I love Little Red Riding Hood.  


You can find more about the Quilty Fun Sew Along here, at Lori Holt's blog, Bee in My Bonnet.
