Hands2Help Charity Quilt Challenge

(Quilts I donated to Happy Chemo last year)

It's that time of year for the annual
Hands2Help Charity Quilt Challenge 
hosted by Sarah of Confessions of A Fabric Addict.
Confessions Of A Fabric Addict
I participated last year and will be joining in again.
Last year I donated 2 quilts to HAPPY CHEMO and I will donate 3 for sure this year
...probably 1 to each charity.
If Hand2Help Charity Quilt Challenge is new to you,
you can read all about it in detail at Confessions of A Fabric Addict.

Brighten someone's day and donate a 'comfort' quilt.
Choose your organization from the H2H featured charities
or if you are an international quilter...
you can choose a local charitable group to give your quilt to!!

Winner...Winner...

...the Ruffles Blog Hop winner is Jeanie
...she wrote
Your clothespin holder is so cute.....I hope that spring and warmer weather gets here very soon so that you can put it to good use. Also love the kitchen towels....who cares if you don't have a red kitchen! Thanks so much for sharing these goodies today!
 Jeanie is excited...
she responded to my email and the pattern is in the mail

Thank you Corinna...for sponsoring the giveaway. 
Jeanie was the lucky one but if you would like to purchase
the RUFFLES pattern you can find it at Crazy Quilt Girl Fabric Shop.
I think I am going to have Corinna order SPLASH for me...
and STRAWBERRY SOCIAL too...
I'm thinking spring!
 
If I could only find more hours in my day...
there are sEw many projects I want to make...sEw little time.
I have family coming from Canada tomorrow...
not much sewing will get done.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
 Thank you to everyone
who left me sweet comments about my ruffle projects.
I've read them all...
I appreciate you taking the time to leave me a comment.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A number of you asked if I had a pattern for the clothes pin bag.
I purchased a McCall's pattern #M6769
McCall's Pattern M6769 Apron, Potholders, Clothes Pin Bag, Oven Door Towel
...I liked the shape of the bag
but I did change a few things.  I made it slightly longer
changed the shape of the opening and the ruffle.  I also added a pocket.
The pattern did not use batting in the bag...
I used a pre quilted fabric...it's much sturdier with the batting.
I luv how mine turned out and 
you can be sure I will be making a few more.

My ALYOF for goal for March

The month of March is going to be a busy month for me.
I've decided...
I'm not going to put too much pressure on myself this month
I don't want any anxiety attacks!!
This quilt top has been a flimsy for about 4 maybe 5 years.
It is time to get it quilted and ready to donate.
My March goal is to have this quilt top...quilted and bound.

Thank you 
Shanna of Fiber of All Sorts
and
Melissa of Sew BitterSweet Designs
for helping me finish some UFO's

I'm linking up to the March ALYOF Goal Setting Linky Party.

Please stop by my previous post and
