Inspired by a generous gift and the hands that once chose it.
Our Community Outreach team was recently given fabric pieces from the estate of Barbara Stewart, a former guild president and an award winning quilter. It’s a privilege to carry her love of quilting forward.
Here’s a look at the batik fabric to use for making and donating a quilt in her memory.
While sorting and imagining what these fabrics could become, this design stood out as a beautiful way to bring them together.
It features simple piecing and an engaging layout that will (hopefully) suit both beginner and experienced quilters. This should be a fun quilt to make and one our team will be proud to give.
The leftover bits of batiks may result in a second string quilt with the help of a few extra guild member donated blocks.
There are a few more donated fabrics that will be shared in future posts along with a few ideas on how to use them. Our team will consider all the possibilities and decide together which quilts we’d like to make.
Hello World!
This is something new for us, and like the quilts we create, we’re putting it together one piece at a time and learning along the way. We’re excited to add a new method of sharing information, progress, and inspiration for the quilts we’ll be creating together and donating to the people in our community.
