Quilts donated recently
Mary M. started with a panel to make this quilt that is sure to please a toddler or preschool child. She used her embroidery machine to stitch some choo-choo trains along the border. Thanks, Mary!
This is a committee Easy Squares kit completed by a guild member -- sorry, I don't know who made it.
Here's a cute squares kit donated by Bunny and quilted by Joe.
Nancy M. made this fleece blanket with a young girl she mentors through the local school. What a wonderful project to do together. Nancy said the student enjoyed it very much and wants to do another when school starts next year.
This checkerboard is one of the standard patterns we use for Linus quilts. Judy G., who makes many of our guild kits, completed both the following quilts. Thanks so much, Judy!

Amazing embroidery!
Marion R. has been having a great time using her embroidery machine to make quilts for her grandchildren, but she still finds time to make quite a few quilts for Project Linus. Since it's a little hard to see the detail in photos that show the whole quilt, here's a close-up of one of the blocks. Isn't it pretty?
Here's the entire quilt.
And here's another one with all sorts of vehicles.
Here's an adorable animal one.
And here's a pretty-in-purple quilt. (Sorry, the photo is really washed out.)
Thank you so much, Marion!
Quilt by committee
This beautiful rainbow quilt was made in large part at a Linus committee worknight at Sew Sassy a couple months ago.
Talese donated the kit and got the pieces organized, then several stitchers at the worknight stitched the blocks. Talese finished what was left and joined the blocks; Connie L. did her usual magnificent job of quilting. The quilt is so large that I couldn't hang it on my design wall to photograph! I hope it will be given to a teenager who needs a larger quilt. Thank you Talese for donating the kit, and of course your time and talent, and thanks to everyone else who helped make this gorgeous quilt!
