| Many Memories! |
 |
| Have drawn most of the businesses' and churches in the town. |
 |
| A Wheel Barrel full of Coreopsis thanks to my friend Neita |
 |
| My two latest ACEO 2.5"X3.5" Original Artist Cards for sale on E-Bay Auction. It's a fun new project! the first 5 have sold so far. |
 |
| A pile of clean gingham clothing ready to cut up for quilts |
 |
| During the week I cut out 54 6.5" squares using 6 different prints which makes 9 rolls of 6 squares per roll. Then my good friend Rose Marie and I sew them together at Chat & Sew at the Archie Baptist Church every Wenesday. Then Rose Marie takes them home and hand ties or machine quilts them during the week making a youth size quilt or throw for the residents at the Baptist Childrens Home. They have many short term residents. Each one gets a quilt, a new set of clothes and a book or game in a fabric bag when they enter, and it's theirs to take with them with they leave. |
 |
| People donate yardage, batting and left over fabric to which we supplement with decorative fat quarters and more batting to create bright happy quilts. We have a goal of one a week! |
 |
| One of our TOPS sisters Sandy & husband Donnie(center) celebrated their 50th Wedding anniversary Sat. and we were there to celebrate with them! Three of our members were not there at the time of this picture. |

A very interesting post. Thank you.
What a great way to come together and make those quilts! Such a gift.
And I'm thrilled to hear that your art cards all sold! Of course it's no surprise to me!
Thanks for sharing Marlynne,
