Tuesday Archives #58: Prairie Points

Welcome to the linky party that rejuvenates your old quilting/sewing posts! 

Please click here to read more about this linky party.  

This week's theme is: Prairie Points

Prairie Points are definitely on my "To-Do" list. I soooo want to add these to the border of a quilt or two! I found this detailed Prairie Point tutorial on Craftsy. It includes an illustrated 10-step method for making and nesting prairie points to create a special edge on your quilt. 

I've also had my eye on this Pinwheel Baby Quilt posted in 2009 at the Moda Bake Shop. This link will take you to a really cute, 36"x44" baby quilt pattern made with one charm pack and a bit of fabric! The pattern also includes quick instructions for adding those prairie points!

H2H Finale: Whimsical Flower Garden!

If you are a follower of my blog, you know I joined the Hands2Help Challenge, hosted by Sarah at Confessions of a Fabric Addict, for the first time this year. Today is the grand finale of quilts and I'm looking forward to seeing all the quilty love being donated out there! As I described in my first H2H post, as a cancer survivor myself,
I chose to send a Quilty Hug to Happy Chemo.

My Whimsical Garden has already been sent and received by Emily at Em's Scrapbag. Check out the van full of quilts that were collected for Happy Chemo here.

I love seeing mine in this pile of Happy Hugs!

You can see it in it's "flimsy" stage here and read more about 

the final stages of embellishing and quilting here.

I'm grateful to have been able to send a quilty hug and happy to know someone's day will be just a little bit brighter due to the wonderful donations of so many!
