Upcycled...Book to Quilt

At our guild, Neuse Quilters, we have a great group of ladies who love to share their hand me down fabrics. One day recently, I had been busy and noticed, towards the end of our meeting ,that there was some fabric on a table....so I began to look through it. At first I just thought, "I do not need any more left overs" and then I thought again....

There was a scrappy piece of brightly colored fabric with animals.... letters... an alphabet?????

Well....maybe I could take just this one...????

It turns out it is not just a piece of fabric



but a fabric book
@#@$@%@^@&@&



WOW.....I see a quilt....not a book at all.....

So here it goes.








All quilted...


and I made a little pillow with the extra block/page.





All ready for the Ronald McDonald House!!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

My good friend's daddy's VA Home quilt
all finished.







We are praying he will like his nice new home
and I want him to feel comfortable there
and that his quilt helps with the transition...

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++



Blessings all,
Kathy
