The last batch...
This is it! I have three TEN
(I just found a whole other lot of them!)
All those lovely houses you all sent me!
All those lovely houses you all sent me!
All 550 of them, have made it into, 60 quilts...
60!!!! I can't believe I go them all together!
These sweet blocks are all going into one quilt... If I kept breaking them down into 6 blocks per quilt, I probably could make another 15 quilts. But I think, we've got them all covered for the Fundraisers...
We still need COMPLETED QUILTS for the BASICS QUILT DRIVE...
Don't forget! We will be have a distribution day event with the families in NOVEMBER with all the quilts you all have sent in.
I am so deeply touched by every one's generosity for this project...
Who knew this project would grow as big as it did... I so thank you all!
Time for a little hand sewing by the fire... fall is here!
Warm with that crisp chill in the air!
As we drove through QUEENS NEW YORK last night to our house on long island, we were so surprised by the damage our Thursday night storm caused...
EVERY TREE was up rooted, branches on houses, branches in streets.
One woman pulled over to the side of the Long island express way, and a tree fell on her car...
It came out of no where, I was out walking our dogs, and all of a sudden the sky just lit up,
Lightening like I had never seen in NYC....very scary.
The end of my Harvest
We arrived at our house and found out we had no hot water...
Oh well... It was so nice to get here and relax. It has been a very busy week...
all the loft work, washing machines breaking down, school, homework...
Time to sit in the sun and put the feet up!
hmmmm, But then that gives me ideas... I see a quilt here....
Love the shadows and the white on white...
Jenny Egg is enjoying chasing falling acorns and chewing them up...
Kia, I think, has a better idea... snuggle up and take a nap...
Do you ever sleep? Love your quilts and pictures, looking forward to your visit to the NW in November. Bring some tops. They are smaller and easier to pack that quilts.
ReplyDelete50!! You deserve a medal!
ReplyDeleteThis has been one incredible project headed by one amazing and generous lady! :o) And you've certainly had a terrific supporting cast.
ReplyDeleteYou have been a great motivating force! Congrats on pulling off such an ambitious endeavor! Enjoy the time sitting in the sun (I'm on my porch right now, looking out over the Blue Ridge Mountains as they start their transformation from green to autumnal). Who needs hot water from a tap when you have a stove or fireplace to heat it on/in? (for a few days, anyway)
ReplyDeleteYou've come a long way baby! The house quilts just keep looking better all the time! You are so generous with your time.
ReplyDeletesounds like you are very busy between working on all your quilts and having your loft redone and now clean up of your second home - I had heard of the storms in NYC and wondered how you came through.
