That is such a simple technique, I don't know why more people don't do it.  It makes pillows look SOOOO much better.  

Thank you very much, dear Pirate. 

Instructions are printed out and pinned to design wall.

you are very welcome.  Happy to spread the knowledge. :-)

That is sad, Lynne.  Unless I have someone in mind I donate mine.  Occasionally one will appeal to me, and I'll keep it at least for a while.

I make quilts for Quilts of Valor, Project Linus and Snowball Express.  But I sew almost every day and with the exception of the QOV, most go out the door pretty fast.  I belong to a quilting group that does the Project Linus, Snowball Express and we also provide quilts for cop cars (to comfort children) and several other organizations in our area.   I just love the entire process. 

Right now I'm working my way through a ton of UFO's that need to be done and gone.

I have all the quilts I need for my home.  My kids have a "Cease & Desist" order on me for quilts, claiming they have more than enough.  BUT I will be making more mature quilts for the grandkids soon.

I sew just about every day also. Lot's of my quilt's go to  c.p.service foster childrens. What is snowball express. I made a quilted for our pastor little baby. Finishing up a quilt for a friend of my in AZ. 

Snowball Express is a huge all expenses paid Christmas Party that the Gary Sinise Foundation does for children who have lost a parent in a war zone.  I think it's American Airlines that flies the remaining parent and all the children to a location, (usually Disney World) and the foundation pays all the expenses.   Gary Sinise is a one man honor the Military kind of fellow.   The sewing group "Ojai Church of Christ Comfort Quilters" have funds constantly being donated so we have the $$ to ship to the foundation.

Quilts must be 45" x 60" minimum.  They prefer Patriotic colors.  Also they don't want fabric that represents a specific branch, USMC, Army etc.

How is life going in Tennessee?  I've been looking at homes in the southern part of the state, down by Chattanooga.  I don't want to be to far north as I'm not big on snow & massive amounts of cold.  Any good quilt shops near you?  Quilt Guilds?
