Friday the Fourth

 Happy Fourth of July!

 Hope you have lots of family, friends and good food during your celebration.

When you have a dog, this holiday can be a stressful one.  Sadly, my neighborhood gets a little crazy with fireworks - even though they are banned here in the city limits.

Arthur just had surgery to remove some cancerous lumps so I will have to work extra hard to keep him quiet.  We don't want any pulled stitches.

One of the board members loves Tula Pink prints.  She made this quilt top for Many Hands and Many Hearts.  She also donated the backing.  I sent it off to local longarm quilter Laura to get quilted.

Kristin sent in this quilt top and backing.  Sorry, this time of year is hard to get photos because the sun is always so bright. The prints in this quilt are really cute.  There are lots of women dressed in high vintage fashion.

Elizabeth made this fun scrappy quilt top.  A lot of the novelty prints in this one we thought would appeal to a young man so we decided to use some of our camo fabric for the back.  New local longarm quilter Gloria finished this one up.  Sadly, she has to have shoulder surgery this summer so it might be a while before she can quilt for us again.

A local volunteer made this bright and happy string quilt.  She also gave us a pretty purple grunge material for the backing. I have not tried this string block variation.  I really like it!

This quilt top and backing sent in by Kristin has such soft and peaceful colors in it.  I love this pale gray and different shades of peach.

We made a big delivery to the hospital earlier this week.  They are always so appreciative of all the quilts and always comment how beautiful each of them are. Thanks to so many of you, we are able to make all this happen!

Have a safe Fourth!
