I was at a sew in with some ladies from quild. We had a great time and when I got home, these were waiting for me! Thanks Alexandra C. They are darling! These were all pieced and quilted from fabrics in Alexandra's own stash.

Four more of Susan's quilt pictures found!

When Susan first heard about our Lincoln chapter of Quilts For Kids back in May, she made these four very wonderful quilts for boys and donated them to our chapter! Unfortunately, like the quilts in the previous post, these didn't get posted here. But, since I've been trying to reorganize the files on my computer, I come across these, and seen they hadn't been posted! They are too beautiful not to share them! You did an awesome job on them Susan, thanks so much.

Quilts donated to LQFK

I found these pictures of some quilts that were donated this summer, but that unfortunately didn't get posted here when I was having trouble with my computer, and then also my camera.I wanted to share their beauty with you. And also let the volunteers who sewed so much love and talent into these, know that they were greatly appreciated! Most of these were donated to Omaha Childrens Hospital in our recent delivery to them. And the others, were donated last week  to St. Elizabeth hospital, here in Lincoln. Thanks so much, Ann, Susan, and Elaine! Make sure to visit Elaine's blog also, she makes some truly gorgeous quilts and has a very enjoyable and informative  blog as well!

 These two bright and cheery quilts were made from Ann's own stash, then donated to LQFK! I think every child would love to have a quilt with these bright beautiful balloons on it! And the second, is so cute with its bright polka dots!

These two are from Susan, she pieced both from LQFK kits. And did such a wonderful job on quilting them! Thanks Susan, for both of them, they are so pretty! Here's the first one.

When I was cutting the kit for the second one, I accidentally shorted her two strips in the kit. Because of my mistake, she was unable to make two more nine patch blocks to complete another row, but look how wonderfully she managed to compensate for my error! I love both the fabric and the technique she chose to fix my boo boo!

Here are the two that Elaine pieced from kits and quilted so beautifully! The first one is actually a four patch, but doesn't seem like it with the colors placed the way they are! I also had to mention the perfect name she picked for it. Purple Slurple!

A close up of her beautiful quilting!

And this nine patch is really cute too!

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!!

Quilt Delivery

On Sept 6th. Lincoln Quilts For Kids delivered quilts to Children's Hospital in Omaha! Sari and I were thankful that the weather cooperated and there was no detours! I snapped a pic of Sari while we were waiting for Donna to meet with us, but then forgot to hand her the camera to get a picture of me!
Although, we were unable to donate as many quilts as last time, each and every quilt was greatly needed and truly appreciated . I had already promised most of the quilts we had on hand to St. Elizabeth Hospital here in Lincoln, when I called Donna to see how they were doing with quilts. She informed me that they were out, and would love to receive some if it was possible.   So, I offered to bring her 8 girl quilts and 8 boy quilts now, and would have more  yet this month. Thanks so much to all our volunteers for making this delivery possible!
