Two more Boo-Boo Kids quilts

We got two more wonderful Boo-Boo Kids quilts on the theme Lyrics for Linus. This adorable quilt was made by Debbi D.
Her mother, Marge P, who sews the labels on all our blanket donations, created this very cute quilt with a musical theme. Thank you!

Make A Blanket Day at Sew Sassy

Make A Blanket Day was so much fun! The back room at Sew Sasy was full all day long with guild and community members who were busy making blankets for Project Linus. We made enough blocks to make several heartstrings quilts, like the one below, which we recently made at a worknight. We worked on lots of other projects, too.

Here you can see some guild members busy stitching away. In this photo are Diane M, Mary M, Glennys M, Diane D, and Alma M.
At 2:00 we had the drawing for the raffle quilt, which raised $1024 for Project Linus. We are so pleased! Pictured below is the lucky winner with the raffle quilt.

Lots more quilts!

In the last week or so we've received many Linus donations from guild members. Here's a very cute panel that was bordered with a bright green fabric.
This cuddly flannel quilt was tied rather than quilted, always an option. It was very cleverly tied, too -- red yarn was tied over the red bowties the frogs are wearing!
Here's a colorful quilt with lots of color and movement to hold a child's interest.
Becky G. quilted this bright orange quilt. The back has a cheery "make a wish" print. Becky also put the binding on one of the prequilted Barbie panels that we've already shown. Thanks, Becky!
Sorry, I can't get this photo to turn upright. Use those neck muscles to turn your head and take a look at this cute panel quilt.
We received two more jar quilts from Stephanie -- so much fun to look at! Click the photo to enlarge it and see what's in each jar. Thanks, Stephanie, and thanks to Tom for quilting these and Martha for binding them.

This fun sports quilt is from a project Donna R put together for guild members. Squares are stacked and cut, then reassembled using pieces from the various stacked squares. Cute!
If I did not mention your name and you contributed to any of these quilts, please let me know. Often I pick up quilts that have been left with others and I just don't know everyone who put time, effort, and love into making this wonderful blankets.

Mumbo Gumbo and a Worknight WIP

Here it is -- the wild and crazy Mumbo Gumbo quilt that so many of you contributed to!

The committee put together the string blocks pieced by guild members, and someone from the Needle and I in Rantoul quilted it for us. It's such a fun quilt -- thank you everyone for your efforts!

And here's a work-in-progress from last night's worknight at Sew Sassy.

Diane D designed this quilt with the help of Debbi D and Michelle G, and took it home to start on the layout -- you can see it's not done yet!. If you recognize the border, it's because it uses the extras (the quick corner remnants) from the zig zag blocks made by guild members. Waste not, want not! It's so exciting to see the creativity that quilters have when they just have bits and pieces to work with.

Diane L's great quilts

Diane L. donated two serged fleece preemie blankets (not shown) and 3 adorable quilts. Thank you so much, Diane! This I Spy/Jar quilt will provide lots of entertainment for a child checking out the contents of each jar.
This colorful quilt features a fish fabric and a very snazzy border.
Lots of wild animals and fun fabrics will keep a child cozy and happy under this quilt.
