Project Linus Quilts - October 2015


Project Linus Quilts - Wales 2015
Over the past few weeks I have been using my longarm to quilt some charity quilts for our local Project Linus group.  I have accumulated quite a pile to take along to the next sewing event.

At the last Project Linus day in May, Ruth, another volunteer, and I collaborated on a few quilts of our own, using the fabric that had been donated to the project.  It is only recently that I have managed to fit them in for quilting.

I enjoy doing these charity quilts as they are an opportunity to try out new patterns and increase the choice available for my customers.  On this quilt I used a digital pantograph with a robot on it called 'Boltz' by Kyla Trammel.  It turned an ordinary square block quilt into a cuddly fun quilt, especially with the fleece we put on the back.

Another quilt we made featured the 'Sock Monkey' character.  It is certainly not the usual type of fabric that I choose, but innovating on the day led to this cutie.  This was quilted using a 'Popcorn' digital pantograph.
