We have now finished our 2014 charity quilt. Many of you already know that my two friends Elizabeth, Betty and I make a charity quilt each year and have been doing so since 2003 when we all actually worked together for the same company in downtown Calgary.
Even though none of us now work together we have decided to still keep up our tradition of making a charity quilt. Each year one of us chooses the quilt pattern and the charity the quilt will go to. 2014 was Elizabeth's turn. She not only chose the pattern but designed it as well and called it "Chinook Stars". One talented lady our Elizabeth.
This first photo was taken just after we finished piecing it all together. We each make a third of the blocks and then get together to assemble the quilt.
This photo was taken at our guild meeting which both Elizabeth and I belong. As well the final photo shows how I did the quilting. We're all very happy with the way it turned out and have no doubt someone is going to absolutely love it.
