In addition to quilting my own projects, I am a member of the Tri-Lakes Women’s Club Stitch and Chat interest group. We meet monthly and are working on quilts for Alzheimer’s patients here in the Monument area. This talented bunch of ladies is working hard to amass quilts prior to the opening of memory care facilities here in the local area by the fall. Thought I would share some of our efforts to date in a photo show of finished and almost-finished quilts! I also wanted to give a shout-out to this talented group. Thank-you Vicki Davis, Kay Ford, Michele Hanley, Becky Hassler, Marki Morison-Gille, Deb Munsell, Kathy Murphy, Bonnie Nasser, Sandra Sciadini, Ann Sentman and Sheila Walker. Awesome work indeed!

After all the hand piecing, I decided to do some foundation paper piecing for my next quilt. Here is the result - Violet Craft's Elephant Abstractions with some Kaffe prints added here and there. I love the toes!

I have been playing catch-up with my La Passacaglia quilt rosettes after a summer of getting behind schedule with just about everything. All of my Liberty Tana Lawn fabric now lives in about 10 small bins, which makes it much easier to pick and choose which fabric to use. I have completed the bottom right quadrant of my quilt and joined the pieces. Here is that large, lower piece of the quilt, have a look! The next part I am working on is the lower right part of the quilt.  My plan is to put my completed tana lawn roses large rosette there and then surround it with smaller blocks.  Here is how that one plus the hot pink ladies looks with what I have already completed. Here are a few small rosettes that may find a home around those roses or may hang around and be placed in the top half of the quilt. We shall see! I really love this project.  I have acquired some very strange calluses on my hands from all this hand piecing/basting and hand st...

I have a lot of rosettes ready to be organized so I thought I would do a photo show in my post today!  Right now, there is only one large rosette with three smaller pieces attached: The other three large rosettes are ready as well. Then there are some smaller rosettes awaiting placement. I have several more smaller rosettes that are partially finished as I wait to see what I need where. Such a fun project! Susan

Finally, my Wonky Star Quilt is ready to be put together.  Here's a picture of all of its bits and pieces on the floor prior to beginning the work. Wish me luck! Happy quilting! Susan
