Sewing and Beyond with Mary Anne Ciccotelli

I missed getting this picture updated there I wanted it – so the description will come later.

This past week-end I quilted four quilts (all were at least twin size). Tom was attending the second week-end of Woodbadge training, so I spent most of the week-end in the basement quilting.

Here are the 30 wheel chair bags that I made. They will be donated to the Village Squares Quilters and will be given to Burke Rehabilation Center.

At the September Village Squares meeting member we were asked to bring a UFO (Unfinished object). At the meeting we would turn in our UFO and take another person’s UFO home. Above is the block that I received. I decided that if my husband can sleep under a pink quilt, then I could use this quilt for the Veteran’s project. I added some borders and turn it into a twin size quilt for the Veteran’s project.

Here is a detail of the quilting. I used a black/gray varigated thread. I like how the the gray shows up occasionally and makes the loops and then disappears.

This is my first Veteran’s quilt. Last Spring I was given a fabric donation. When I recieve fabric this way I try to make a least one donation quilt from the fabric that I have received. The above plaids were pieced together with out any sashings. I cut the squares apart and added the black sashings and borders.

On the second quilt I decided that a enough was enough and I just used the plaids the way they were and added the borders.

A few years ago I received the center panel from the Pelham Quilters. I was suppose to quilt it and then something was going to happen with it. Well, I was a slacker and never got it done, so when Village Squres Quilters asked the Pelham Quilters to help with the Veteran’s quilt project it was decided that I would use the panel and add borders and make it large enough for a twin size quilt for the Veteran’s project.

This quilt top was pieced by Nancy from The Quilt Cottage.
Susan Wolamn spray basted it and I quilted it.

This quilt was made by Lorraine Smith of The Pelham Quilters.
