Quilting night tomorrow....

I have had this posting in draft form since Sept 20th, 2012

To tell you the truth...I forgot about it and I also forgot
about the meeting tomorrow...I'll be winging it tomorrow...
wish me luck!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tomorrow is a quilt meeting day, we meet the 2nd Thursday of every month.

In September we decide what charities we will make quilts for.

Last year we made quilts for ALS, First Step and for VA Hospital.

I made 4 quilts for the local Veteran's Hospital.

The Great Granny Square one will be gifted on the next delivery.

It's my sample for the workshop tomorrow.

I found the block on Lori Holt's blog Bee In My Bonnet.

Thanks to Mama Spark ...
she dropped the 16 quilts, 7 knitted blankets and 2 pillow cases
off at the Veterans Hospital in Ann Arbor Michigan.
She drives by the hospital every day on her way to work.

FNSI results...

...I stitched 2 more Great Granny squares....I had only enough background fabric to make 9 blocks.   Since I ran out of background fabric I will have to add corner stones to the outer border....just not enough background fabric...I think it looks OK and I still have to sew the 2.5" outer border to the quilt top.  I would have added a wider border had I had more of the background fabric.  The quilt will finish around 46" x 46".  

In stead of finishing the borders I decided to do some embroidery....Christmas Prayer Redwork by Bird Brain Designs.  

Embroidery from FNSI
I did more stitching on Saturday...I'd say it is more than half stitched now.

I worked on the angel block Friday night, still have
the angel's hair to stitch.

I called it a night just after midnight...my eyes were tired.  Hope everyone got lots of stitching done last night. 

hugs and happy stitching
