A few years ago, Patti participated in a Stay at Home Round Robin … she diligently sent me photos of her progress … then decided she was DONE. She can’t remember if she put it on the “Free” table or put it somewhere else … but it was out of her hands … she was done with it!
Fast forward to the present day …
Patti is on the “Comfort Quilt Committee” for our guild (Boundary Bay Quilter’s Guild). She was given a quilt that was donated for the cancer centre. She absolutely HAD to show it to me … Can you see why????
And here you can really see Patti’s started SAHRR …
The lady that picked up the discarded SAHRR added lots of her own fabrics and made a super beautiful quilt …
Sew, You Never Know!
IB Blog Hop is Over
Island Batik has had a blog hop over the last 3 weeks. Did you see it? It featured Studio 180 Tools and new fabric lines.
I was given the “Sandalwood” collection, designed by Kathy Engle for Kari Nichols of Quilting Renditions and the Wedge Star Tool. You can read more about this quilt, the fabric and the tool HERE. It was a lot of fun to make! I was especially thrilled when I had PERFECTLY pieced star centres (well, on most of them!)
And here’s the back and a close up of the quilting.
If you would like to see a recap of all of the quilts from the hop, (without visiting each blog) visit Island Batik’s blog HERE.
I Was Featured

How wonderful to see what happened to her unfinished quilt from your qal. So beautiful! Someone is really going to be comforted from it. Your Tool blog hop quilt is lovely! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Talk about serendipity! What fun to see a donated SAHRR top turn into a beautiful quilt and given to comfort group fun by the quilter who began the top! It is beautiful and I would be thrilled to see one a of my tops used that way, as I am sure she was. Do love your Studio 180 challenge, and I may have said it before but it is still true.
