On Saturday I had my
History of Quilting group meeting
and just love getting together with these women.
I come away with so many ideas and thoughts from
this talented group.
They are such a life-giving, positive group.... such a blessing to me.
Well....
Saturday was my lucky day!
Last year we all made a quilt block
that was representative of a book that we read of our choosing.
When all of the blocks were collected,
they were made into a quilt.
We, as a group, decided to raffle this quilt off
and the proceeds would be donated to the local
organization that supports women and children
who are victims of domestic violence.
The drawing was on Saturday and
Guess Who Won!!
YES!!
I WON this gorgeous quilt!
I WON this gorgeous quilt!
We were given fabric to use for our blocks
so they would cooridinate.
Each of us read a book of our choosing,
did a "book report" on the book,
and made a block that represented the book for us.
See what I mean about the talent in this group?
These blocks are beautiful.
I'm not sure where I will display this quilt,
but it will find a special place in my home.
I'm linking up to Design Wall Monday at
Small Quilts and Doll Quilts.
Happy Quilting!

That quilt is gorgeous and what a great way to plan a quilt and I too would like to know the books.
Ramona! How lucky are you! This is a wonderful quilt!
WOW!!!! Lucky you and that is an amazing quilt! It would go quite nicely in my living room! :) I don't even know if I could figure out a block for a book I am reading, but I do read a lot of quilting related novels!
Lucky ducky-I think that is neat that it went to someone who helped make it. It really is a beauty!
Wow! Love the quilt especially the colors and fabrics and boy, are you so lucky to become the owner.
OMGosh....that is awesome and it is such a beautiful quilt. It will mean more to you than a random winner so I am thrilled you won.
