2015 strip quilts (196-220)

We had lots and lots of strips and its easy to make more strips, 

so we gathered a bunch of patterns and ideas to create lots of quilts this year.

We used three basic patterns we've used, 

the Jelly Roll Race, the Popsicle and the Rail Fence; plus this one (name unknown)....

2015 baby quilts (183-195)

Here are the baby quilts made in 2015 

#188

These four quilts we designed from a photo of a block I found on Pinterest.  It seemed like time to get away from simple squares and do some easy triangles.  A one block quilt, easy to make and visually bold.

#184 & 185 pieced and quilted by Eileen Frega

#187 Pieced and quilted by Eileen Frega

This quilt was made using leftover blocks from a bunch of donated blocks.  All the blocks were hand pieced and even the sashing strips were in the donation bag.  I sewed them together at the sewing weekend at Debbie's husband Joe's office.

A moment away from quilts, walker bags for nursing homes

A step away from quilts, walker bags for nursing homes

We decided another way to use up large quantities of fabric and make something useful for nursing homes residents was to try to make bags to tie onto walkers.  

There are lots of patterns on the Internet, but I wanted to find a design that's easy to make and easy to use.  So I did some research. 

My mom was in a nursing home and an avid sewist all her life, so while visiting her one day, we took a walk around the home and covertly checked out all the different bags on the residents walkers.  And this design was born.  

They sewed up pretty easily, but we soon discovered that our sewing gang did not really like sewing them.  Quilts are our preference!

This is the last of the bags we made over a couple years.
