A couple months ago I found out that there is a Quilts for Kids chapter based in Salt Lake City. The chapter has only been going for a few years. I was so excited to discover this because I missed making baby quilts for Primary Children's Hospital. My friend who used to take my quilts there stopped doing it.
I made arrangements with my family to go to the October scrap quilt workshop. I didn't want to go there empty handed, so I pulled out this cute pinwheel fabric by Tasha Noel and made a whole cloth quilt the day before. I quilted it on the Bernina Q24.
After the quilting was done I trimmed the edges and added a red and white polka dot binding.
It may be busy but it is super cute.
Quilts for Kids likes the quilts to be prewashed, so I washed it right away. I love the crinkle of washed quilts.
Once I got to the workshop I was able to add a label.
The workshop was at the Quilter's Lodge. Kits were provided and we worked on a fun I Spy quilt.
I had not been to the Quilter's Lodge before. It is about a 30 minute drive from my house. It is a beautiful retreat center and quilt shop.
I had never seen so many Aurifil colors in person before.
Such a pretty rainbow! I was able to buy a light purple thread that had been on my wish list for awhile. (The last time I tried to order a light purple online I ended up with a medium purple.) I will share more pictures of the I Spy quilt I worked on in another post.
While I was there Sandy, the chapter leader, asked if I would like to do long arm quilting for them. I said that I would love to and also brought home six more baby quilts to finish. I am really excited to be helping Quilts For Kids SLC.
