donation from connecting threads finished

[grammaterry]

Connecting threads donated thread and fat quarters some time ago for a quilt for the Shriners quilt raffle. I have been planning a starburst quilt and cut out the pieces this week. I laid them out and hated it. SO, I made it into this hst quilt and got it finished. I think it was wonderful that they gave me the fabric and it turned out nice. The colored thread I used for the FMQ flowers. My first time in using anything other than white.connectingthreadsdonation.jpg

Oh carol, I hope so too. You have all been so generous and work so hard in helping me. The restaurant continues to take in 40=50 dollars a week and hopefully some of the other retail outlets are doing the same. Its amazing to me how many lives are touched by the childrens hospital . People are continually telling me their stories

I'm going to be in your area later in September. When will the raffle be held? Would love to stop and see this and some of the other quilts.

That's such a cheerful quilt. I think it's great when company's are prepared to donate for a good cause. My LQS owner is the area agent for Linus quilts and a company she deals with regularly donates a bolt of wadding for the quilts.

If the raffle is going to be Labor Day I have a neighbor going to the Asheville area. I told her and she'd love to stop and get some tickets. Please let me know the date you expect it to end ....

Oh, Judy...I hope I haven't not answered you. I have been consumed lately with the restaurant , sewing and the raffle and can't remember much of anything. I really do hope to see you when you come thru and most of the quilts have been gathered back at the restaurant for viewing. We are open thrusday thru sunday noon to 9 pm and it will be great to meet you.

Re: donation from connecting threads finished

Thanks for the info - Looks like we both can start mapping a route to Marshall in September. Timing isn't right to make it to Mars Hill on the 1st. I was starting to get worried!

Re: donation from connecting threads finished

Well, you'll have a great time hving a trip in September. Weather should be perfect. Keeping my fingers crossed. The quilts will be fun to look out. We have great white water rafting here and horseback riding and hiking and zip lining and we are only 25 minutes north of Asheville with lots of antique stores, the Biltmore house, etc. Have a great trip

Love this. Isn't it fun when you are forced in a way to step out of your box and try something new.
