Today I want to show you a virtual quilt show of quilts done by readers for the Carolina Hurricane Quilt Project. The response from all our longarm quilters and volunteer piecers has been wonderful.

Completing the Last Queen Quilt
When this project began, I made the commitment to make and send five queen size quilts to Wilmington for the Carolina Hurricane Quilt Project with the help of friends. The last of the queen quilts was finished in a diamond design, yet another way to arrange the blocks. Many thanks to Claire and Mac Warner, …
Fun at Quilt Retreat
Three days of sewing with friends, what could be more fun? I could have really used the time to get farther along on the Scrap Dance Minuet Mystery Quilt Along, but Step 2 hasn't been posted yet (coming next Friday), and I didn't want to give any sneak peeks, LOL!! So, I took a bunch …
More Quilts for the Hurricane Project
The pile of quilts kept growing over the past couple of weeks, with more coming into the quilt shops. Thanks to runner, Laura, bringing over the quilts from Cary Quilting, the pile doubled in size!

A Collaborative Quilt of Valor
I received these red, white and blue patriotic blocks blocks from sweet friend Melanie almost a year ago when I was looking for some patriotic orphan blocks to make another Quilt of Valor. She thought they would make a wonderful quilt with the patriotic prints, but needed some help getting it finished, and was willing …

Quick Christmas Projects
December is here, and the cold weather in our part of the world makes me want to stay inside toasty warm and do some sewing, stamping and hot glue projects. I have some new readers that may not have seen previous year's projects, plus some of the long time readers may want to do a …
