Toastmasters Charity Quilt

Well I think I have done it. I have committed to making a quilt to be raffled for our District 24 Toastmasters educational fund. And as luck would have it my nice sewing machine is being crabby. It is behaving like your car when the mechanic can't seem to find the problem. "Well, it works great for us!" 

I hope it starts working great for me again. I really like the machine and more importantly, I'm looking forward to being able to make an auction quilt. I have donated one other quilt that sold at a silent auction for the educational fund but I think it I get this one done early and if we can showcase it before the fall district conference, we should be able to make more money towards the educational fund. 

It if fun to combine 2 of my favorite activities, quilting and Toastmasters.

Quilting Divas

Ok - it might be unfair to refer to any of my quilting buddies as divas, they are all just great friends who like to quilt. We get together once a month, have lunch, learn something fun and hopefully make something cool to take home with us. My friends got together for a great afternoon. Recently, we each created a split rail fence quillow. 

What is a quillow?  It is a lap size quilt that folds into a pillow. It was a popular project and one of my friends has set her sights on creating six of them.
