Last week our local quilt shop Quilted Memories organized a two day quilting to make quilts for the victims of the tornado's in Mississippi. The owner Jill donated all the fabric, batting and machine quilted all the quilts the volunteers pieced. Mary worked nonstop for the two days, Kay and I came up after work Friday and pieced two. Here we are "team" quilting!
They were very simple pieced but good size with good quality fabric. This top if folded in half.
And a child's quilt made out of this beautiful fairy fabric.
Some of the tops waiting to be quilted.
This machine ran nonstop.
Some of the finished quilts. The final count of the quilts made is around 50!
Cute kids quilts.
A local church that some of the quilters belong to also donated 20 quilts.
Back home I unrolled my wool fabric with the rhododendron leaves. I premordanted them both in alum but the one on the left I soaked overnight in tannin before rolling it in the leaves. It definitely picked up the leaf image better.
Leaf prints.
Pretty yellow prints.

Nice job on the quilts.
I love the Rhododendron prints. Warren just bought a Rhody...Do you think he'd notice If I ripped off a few leaves?
