Parkinson’s Comfort Quilts
My friend Joanne Lendaro of Splitting Stitches, and I collaborated on three quilts for one of our favorite charities, the Parkinson’s Comfort Project. I pieced the using bits and bobs of my UFOs (Unfinished Objects)… and Joanne did a masterful job on the machine quilting! All three are approximately 36 inches wide by 60 inches long.
The Parkinson’s Comfort Project was started by a fellow Northern Lights Quilt Guild member Sonja Hakala in collaboration with Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center’s Parkinson’s Center and has been named the 2015 Vermont Quilt Festival’s Nonprofit of the Year!
If you’re interested in making a quilt… or three as we did… there are a few guidelines that will guide you in creating a piece showing your love and care.
The Vermont Quilt Festival takes place June 26th-28th, 2015 at the Champlain Valley Expo in Essex Junction, Vermont. The Parkinson’s Comfort Project will have an information booth where they’ll be raising awareness of Parkinson’s disease and the Comfort Quilt program. If you’re in or near Burlington, Vermont that weekend be sure to stop!

My flowering quince may be my favorite, especially after a long snowy winter. You see, the higher the snow cover, the more flowers I get!

I don’t know how I managed without my new center locating ruler. It’s funny how the little things make such an impact!

Just under the gun… any later and I’d have to call it “Saturday Snaps”!

Too bad I had a brain cramp with the date stamp… on the other hand, I’m definitely keeping this set of alphabet stamps.
Gotta go… it’s late and I haven’t done today’s prompt… something you turn on and off. hmmmmmmmm…..

May looks to be as busy or busier than April so in an effort to keep what little sanity I have, I’m going to keep my images thumbnail-sized!

(I’m also testing out some of my alphabet stamps… don’t think I’ll be keeping this decorative lower-case font… but you never know.)
My April IFJM Is Complete!
You’ve heard me talk about International Fake Journal Month before so I won’t bore you again with the details but April’s gone and my project is complete!
If you start here you can forward through the entire month and follow along.
or… you can jump directly to my wrap up.
It’s been a great April… May? Bring it on!
