2008 T2CHK Swaps

T2CHK Quilt Block Swap 2008

Last weekend I sent out all the fabric and quilt blocks that were made and swapped by members of the T2CHK Message Board. This is our third year for having a quilt block swap and our second year having a fabric swap. We didn’t have as many participants in the quilt block swap this time, [...]

The Quilt That Haniya and Naomi Made

Quilt for the Kids' Cousin

Haniya and Naomi finished this quilt today. We began it months ago. It wasn’t hard to do, just hard to find time. Most days, the girls would rather play with their goats than sew. This quilt is for our new nephew, Braydon. When his older brother was born, I made a quilt (see here for [...]

Finished Donation Quilt

We presented our finished quilt to the congregation yesterday during the service. I was sad because more than a handful of the ladies who contributed weren’t there and didn’t get to see it. Even my girls weren’t there because Haniya was ill. The congregation was pleased with the quilt. On Wednesday I will take the [...]

Pregnancy Care Center Quilt

Back in the spring, our church’s ladies and young ladies constructed blocks out of fabric I handed out to them. I am finally putting the quilt together… and really in the nick of time because the auction fundraiser of which it will be a part is October 4th! This project totally got buried in my [...]

T2CHK Quilt Block Swap

I’m wrapping up our 2nd quilt block swap at the T2CHK Message Board. Tomorrow I will mail out all the swapped sets of 12 blocks to the 11 other participants. We chose to swap 9-patch blocks. They turned out so pretty.

Fence Rail Quilt Blocks

I am working on a quilt for a friend. She has had the fabric for years and hasn’t gotten to it. I said I would help, so I’ve been working on it on and off during this time that the kids have been gone. A couple hours a day. It has been easy, just strips. [...]

Naomi’s Quilt

Naomi has been piecing together a quilt (that she began in the beginning of the year) in earnest last week and this week. These are squares that I bought from a thrift store, all cut up and ready, for $1. Yesterday the quilt was ready for tying, the method she chose. She worked on it [...]

Baby Doll Quilt

My daughter Naomi (8) came up with this quilt idea herself. She wanted to make a quilt for her baby doll. I thought that was great. A baby doll quilt’s smaller size makes a quilt project very doable for an 8-year old. Including piecing the top together and machine-stitching the quilt herself, it took only [...]

Naomi is Making a Quilt for her Baby

A young lady from our church gave Naomi a sweet birthday gift back in March — 1/8th of yard of each of 5 summer bright prints. Naomi decided she wanted to make a quilt for her baby. Since it was raining on Wednesday afternoon, it was the perfect day to start the project. We cut [...]

9-Patch Blocks for Swap Done!

Constructing these blocks gave me a nice break from the other sewing challenges I’m facing lately. I will now wait eagerly for the blocks from the other ladies to trickle in. They’re not due until the end of June but our swap this year is so much easier than last year that I think maybe [...]
