Quilting For A Community Cause

 Here is Derby inspecting my baby quilt that

I quilted at my first Community Outreach meeting

of the Bayside Quilters Guild.

 This is in ... NO way - shape - or form

fancy quilting ... it's a basic serpentine stitch across the blocks

to hold the layers together.

 I managed to 'quilt' this top plus get the binding

sewn around the edges.  Now the next step is to fold over the

binding to the back side and hand stitch.

 My friend JoAnn.  

She has been to several of the Outreach Bee's 

and enjoys doing handwork like ...

... sewing labels on the quilt back and finishing the

edge binding.  JoAnn always takes a great photo.

 Chris ... The Outreach Bee's Fearless Leader.

Without Chris [& the other Kris] this group wouldn't

have spunk!  Chris has a pretty tall order of quilts to fill with

all the Community request for quilts.

 The Outreach group started at 9:30am sharp!

 We all broke up in different groups depending

on what you wanted to do.  I had my Bernina

so I did machine sewing.

And ... here we have it ... my first Outreach Bee.

I'll have these quilts finished by our September meeting

as well as two more tops sewn together.  Wilson

actually helped me lay out the the fabric blocks for

my next two Outreach baby quilts.
