Waldo Canyon Update 10

This should be my last update for awhile.  We have our final disbursement this Saturday.  So, anyone wanting a quilt after that will request individually and then we will get them one, and honestly there should not be that many (if any) left to receive one.   This will take some pressure off of me finishing them all right away.  All of the "extra" ones will be forwarded to other fire victims in other areas as the need arises.

The following quilts were quilted by Jenny M  She did an awesome job.  I really love the tools she quilted on the tool quilt. I tried to get a close up.

I just love them all. And as evidenced so did the cat...he loves getting in the middle of all of my stuff. Right next to him...the little shoes and bag..well they are from my niece.  She has taken over the house.  I love her to pieces but I forget how energetic a 2 year old can be.

Off to get some applique ready for Sylvia's then Dear Jane class this afternoon. I would love to say I will be sewing all day tomorrow but...Miss T will be here so I will be lucky to get anything done...lol.

Have a blessed day,
Michelle

Waldo Canyon Update 9 - Finished Quilts

I finally had some time today to take some pictures of the finished quilts I have. I had a wonderful long armer volunteer to quilt some of the tops I had...I sent her 6 large ones and she finished them pronto and even put the binding and label.  Barb even sent 2 extras finished back with the others. 

They will all be delivered tomorrow to the quilt guild for the next disbursement on the 6th of Oct.  Oh happy day.

We have delivered 67 finished quilts. I still have 53 tops to quilt and fabrics and squares to do probably 10 or so more.  It is a wonderful thing and I can't wait to get all of these done.

I loved this backing.

Ready to be loaded into the van by the hubster tonight for drop off tomorrow.

 

 

I hope everyone has a blessed day.

Waldo Canyon Update 8

I finally have my first finish of the Waldo Canyon Quilts that have been sent in.  I tied the quilt together since it came to me ready to finish that way. Believe it or not tying quilts take a rather long time...well for me anyway. I do like it though since it is a little more portable.

As of today I have received 120 quilts of those 57 were completed and ready to deliver.  So that means that between now and who knows I have 63 to quilt but I have sent 9 out to volunteer long armers so that means I am now down to 54 quilts. I really am hoping to get as many of these done as possible by the end of the year.

I also have a ton of fabric and squares sent in to make tops..with all of these I may be able to get 10 more quilt tops out of them if not more. 

We have another delivery slated for October and at that time I will see how many more quilts are needed. I know that there were quilts coming in from all over and that they had quit a few at the last delivery in August.

Well, off to load a quilt on to the frame and then get another one ready to tie.

Have a great night everyone.

Waldo Canyon Update 7

I finally have the last of the boxes open and pictures taken.  I have been really behind but hopefully now I can get on a schedule and get busy on all of these wonderful quilt tops.

This is the front, picture below is the back...too cute...had to show it...looks as good as the front.

 

 

 

I will be back later this week with some updates on the numbers and quilts etc...let me just say that you quilters have been wonderful.

 

Have a blessed day,

Waldo Canyon Update 6

I have received some lovely tops and quilts over the past couple of weeks. I have just been super busy to post before now.  I have had lots of company for the past month and no time to do anything. I am hoping that by this time next week I will be back in a routine with work, school and sports and will be able to make some progress. I am behind on everything right now.

The following quilts came all the way from Canada and they are all completed and ready to go with our next delivery in October. I love them all.  Thank you so much.

 

I have another box that was delivered yesterday and am hoping to go through that one when I get home from work. I also have another small stack upstairs to take pictures of as well. Right now I have over 110 quilt tops (which includes both done and not done).

 

 

Thanks again to everyone who has sent a top or quilt it is a wonderful thing. I am just gobsmacked with the wonderful outpouring of kindness.
