Sew Some Love Sunday - H2H Link-up

Welcome to another H2H edition of Sew Some Love Sunday!!  I'm here to share my contribution to Sarah's Hands2Help program.  It's a ways from done, but that's par for the course.  The quilting for this one was done between client quilts:

Free motion swirls dance in rows across the quilt.  The last time I did any free motion longarming was nearly 3 years ago, not long after The Beast (a pet name for my APQS Millennium) was installed in my sewing room.  I had forgotten how much FUN (and how fast) it can be!!

SEW, acutally...

 When I say "my contribution", I use the term loosely.  I am one of the volunteer longarmers for the Carolina Hurricane Quilt Project.  I partnered with Brunswick Quilters Guild to provide THREE quilts to the project.  They provided quilt tops and backs, along with one quilt batting and funds to purchase another.  I provided one batting and the quilting services.  I will also be providing the binding fabric - unless the excess backing fabric works for that.  The other service I am providing is that I will bind the quilts and deliver them to my semi-local drop point (Cary Quilting Company) before August 1st.

 I also have a quilt planned for Jack's Basket and began sewing the center portion at the end of April.  Unfortunately, construction was stalled when several time-sensitive client quilts came in to be quilted.  It WILL get done.  The question is WHEN?!?!  I didn't report this one to Sarah, as the CHQP quilts are my priority.

 Sarah, thank you for running the H2H charity quilt drive!  It's a fabulous program for helping others.  Also, I appreciate your understanding of the fact that LIFE can (and does) get in the way of our quilting plans.  I will post the other quilts, here on my blog, as I am able to get to them.

Until next time...
Hands are for HELPING!!!

    Freemotion longarming is my favorite way to quilt, along with ruler work! You are contributing a lot by quilting their tops and helping them finish up their goals.

    Quilting those big Carolina quilts is a big job! I'm so glad that you're doing it; very generous use of your time. This green and cream one is so pretty :)

    Thank you for your contribution. Without some longarm quilters who volunteer their service, not as many quilts would be able to be finished.
