Mail Call

On Wednesday, Lincoln Quilts For Kids received lots of "pretty mail"!

First the mailman brought a package from Susan, containing a finished kit quilt! A very cute Scrappy 4 patch, that was made from some of the I spy and Alphabet charms that I had swapped awhile back in Stashbuilders Yahoo Group,  Thanks Susan,  it turned out really cute, and your quilting is beautiful too!




Then not too long afterwards, the UPS man showed up with a large box of quilts from Kathy K. that she pieced from her own stash, and then had Kristen, another one of our volunteers, quilt them. There were six child sized quilts, most with animals as the focus fabric, which are all really cute prints! One, a panel, is just darling! And the two little NICU quilts and preemie quilts, Kathy quilted herself! Thanks Kathy for sewing all those quilts with such love adorable fabrics! Thank you Kristen for doing such an awesome job of quilting, and also for donating your time and  talent to help bring so many smiles to those who sometimes don't have anything to smile about.



"Kitty and me, invite you to tea"
Although all are absolutely cute, I will have to say this one is my favorite! Those baby farm animals are so adorable, and this just makes me smile, and think of sipping on a big cold glass of chocolate milk, mmm, yum!!

My Apologies Linda

In my last post about the wonderful Hot Air Balloon, and two other quilts our chapter for Quilts For Kids received, I accidently put the wrong name of the volunteer that made these beautiful quilts. Instead of Susan L. it should have been Linda S. I'm so sorry Linda, Ila.

Mail Call 8/30/2011 Up, Up, and Away, In a Hot Air Balloon!

Today the Lincoln Chapter of Quilts For Kids received this beautiful Hot Air Balloon quilt in the mail, along with two kit quilts "Full Steam Ahead" and "Bright Butterflies" that were all made by Linda S.! As soon as I unpacked it from the box, I instantly wandered, just how many sweet dreams this awesome quilt could inspire in a young child! Did you ever dream as a child sailing across the sky in one of these? I know I sure did. Thanks so much Linda, they are all three darling and will surely put a smile on some child's face.









I just wanted to say Thanks to Bob U. and Nancy Zieman and her episode of Sewing With Nancy where she interviewed one of the Chapter Leaders Bob Urquhart of Quilts For Kids. I have had a terrific response in the last several days from people who were watching the show, and have contacted me to find out how thy could help our chapter make quilts for children here in NE.
