Up on my design wall are a very old UFO - from the 90s I believe and a new set of blocks for a rag quilt. The UFO is a 34" carpenter star with shoofly blocks in the corners. I'm quilting it right now as it's been done for 20 years or so. This will be my first charity quilt of 2014. Beside it, are twelve 16" flannel blocks that will be my first St. Anne's quit
* of the year, also. I must work on one of my "quilts for me" for the rest of the week to start my 2014 challenge.
I'm linking to Judy's
Design Wall Monday and Lyn's
BOMs Away. See you there!
*Some have asked: I started a quilting group at our church. It’s called St. Anne’s Sewdality. We
meet once a month to make/pray over quilts for low income, first time mothers.
There’s a Mommy & Me clinic in our parish boundaries and once a month we
take them a stack of 7 – 12 quilts to distribute to their clients when they come
for their first postpartum visit. We are a group of 10 women – some don’t have
a machine, so we keep our quilts on the simple side so they can design, sandwich
and tie and be part of our production line. You can visit here to see some of
the quilts we've donated.

I make quilt tops so that the ladies will have something to sandwich and tie. We've decide to make them generally about 36” square so they can be used for
newborns, then for stroller or car seat blankets. I try to make at least 2 a
month for them. The one I will make with those 16” blocks is going for a
special person. So that's what a St. Anne's quilt is.
