I'm just playing with them right now, but will add weekly stitches as we move along.
I was able to get two more Alzheimer's Art Quilts on the latest auction. I have an idea for using these and will fill you in later if the idea is successful. Here are my latest purchases:
 |
| Forgotten Places donated to AAQI by Brenda Krause, Sandra Spicer, and Nadine Bird |
 |
| Strength of Heart - donated by Erin Martin My thanks to the ladies who made and donated these quilts to the auction! |
I'm proud of my latest acquisitions and am hoping that my idea will give them a suitable setting. However, I also need to put aside some current projects and get to work making some more quilts of my own to donate.

ReplyDeleteNancy - Aren't the colors pretty? Good luck to both of us on this give away!
ReplyDeleteMichele - Don't you love the quilts? I'll check to see if there is an addy for them and send a note. Thanks for the tip, Michele!
You've been so busy! It seems forever since I've visited and I love your new prayer flag project. The freedom in the creation is as lovely as your "ugly" dolls. It really looks like y'all had a lovely Christmas as well.
ReplyDeleteGlad everyone is healthy and happy! The new year always gives me hope too that I may organize things a little more. As I told my friend, so what if I never finish? I keep starting and that has to count for something! I'm just trying to keep up with birthdays and holidays and kids. I do hope to have more time to just play with some new ideas. I have been knitting and crocheting again which I love doing.
Take care, looking forward to seeing your flags, quilts and dolls progress! Happy New Year!!
suesue - I agree completely about never finishing! Starting counts! I love the knitted cap -- adorable. Your knitting and crocheting will be something I'll be watching. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the prayer flags! I signed up for the floss giveaway and used your name! Just the motivation I need to add some more hand stitching on my Priority Quilts for the AAQI. I love Laura Wasiloski's work and need to take the time to stitch! Thanks for buying AAQI quilts - you got two gems!
ReplyDeleteDiane - Thanks! Aren't the hand-dyed flosses lovely? Thanks for using my name. I love the two quilts I got in the Jan. auction!
