Hands 2 Help Charity Challenge

The final linky party for the Hands 2 Help Charity Challenge is
at Confessions of a Fabric Addict.
Sarah has been hard at work organizing the challenge
and keeping us informed...she even had guest bloggers.

This is the second year I participated.  
Last year I donated 2 lap size quilts to Happy Chemo.

This year I stuffed 3 child size lap quilts into one box
that went to Quilts of Compassion...
...they have been received.
The one on the quilt rack is on it's way to Happy Chemo
and it should arrive in Utah tomorrow.
This quilt was pieced by my DIL and quilted by my son.
They both did an awesome job.  
Thank you Sarah, for all the hours you put into making this
quilt challenge such a success.  
I look forward to participating again next year.





June's goal...

WOW June already....and day 5...how can that be???
I am ready to set my goal for ALYoF
hosted by Fiber of all Sorts and Sew BitterSweet Designs.

My quilt pieces in a box, that was a few months ago...

today, the blocks are sewn together and sashed...
and it looks like this...
I still have to add the 5 inch outer borders, quilt and bind it.
That will be my June goal for ALYoF's!
June will be a busy month for me but I'm sure I can get it finished!!

There are lots of June goals that have joined the linky party...
check them out here.

It's a finish...

...and just in time for Melissa and Shannon's ALYOF linky party.
Here is my May finish...it is a Many Trips Around the World.
You can find the free pattern here.
I decided on all pink fabrics and no borders.
...a peek at the back 
 and the front.

Thank you
