Our community has recently revived the local quilting guild - yes! Even after the old guild disbanded, a group of dedicated quilters continued to put together a queen-sized quilt to raffle off, with a winner's name drawn at the annual
Northern Rockies Folk Festival. What a better venue to raffle off a hand-made quilt made entirely from volunteers than at a folk festival, right?
Well, this year I've made a quilt block to include for the quilt top. The theme this year is "Flowers of the Mountains". With that theme I simply had to make a block!
So here it is:
It's a radiant sunflower made out of batiks. And it was such to make it. I got the pattern from
Castilleja Cotton. Diane was great to work with - I needed the pattern in a hurry, and she obliged and sent me the pattern as a download. Isn't technology wonderful!
I can't wait to see the completed quilt. There will be 20 flower blocks, with proceeds going to support a local women's charity. Such a worthy cause, and such fun to be a part of it this year!
Have you been involved in any charity projects this year?
That is beautiful! Can't wait to see the finished quilt also. Please take pictures. :)
ReplyDeleteI sure will - you'll probably have to wait until August. It will be interesting to see how it all comes together!
