Yeah, one of my goals for the week is done - I finished the rag quilt top for St. Ann's. My job was to piece it. I then take it to the meeting and someone else clips it and washes it to transforms it into a rag quilt. This makes the 4th one made. It will go to a nursing home, I think. A friend gave me all these flannel rectangles, so here is the first batch made into a quilt. Thanks, Deanna!And now, as promised, I'll show you the placemats the girls made as they learned to use a sewing machine. We decided to use scraps for them. The girls learned to sew seams, measure, sandwich, quilt and bind. I'm so proud of them.

| Megan's Placemat |

| Lauren's Placemat |
The only thing I did for them was straighten edges so they could sew the subsequent straight seam. I was a little bit hesitant for them to use a rotary cutter. Maybe next year if we do it again. Here are the backs:

| Lauren did some free motion quilting. |
 |
| Megan did a sitd variaion for her quilting. |
 |
| The girls put them to use for lunch that day. |
They later informed me that they were going to use them as doll quilts as they matched the quilts they made earlier - LOL.
Smart girls....dual purpose.
ReplyDeleteCan I borrow the girls when it comes to doing free motion quilting? I haven't gotten up enough nerve to do that yet. Well done young ladies!

PS: I also haven't done stitch in the ditch. :)
Great job by the girls. Here I am at 56 just learning to FMQ and your daughter is out performing me - lol!
ReplyDeleteAngie,
ReplyDeleteYou're Welcome!! The rag quilt will be warm and cozy for some lucky person in the nursing home. Glad you're able to use the flannel fabric.
Love and Hugs!
