Good Cheer Quilts November 2021

 In November guild members turned in 3 quilts and 6 pillowcases. Thanks to Joanne Eichler, Suzie Owen, Jill Conger and Alice Johnson for making those items.

Good Cheer committee members made another 8 quilts for a total of 11 quilts and 6 pillowcases donated to Interfaith for November. There was also a bag full of toiletry items.

Good Cheer quilts and pillowcases are a great project to work on when you just want to do some sewing but don't feel like tackling something large or involved. Stop by our table at the guild meeting and pick up a kit. It's a great way to do a little something for those less fortunate, especially as the weather gets colder.

Happy Holidays from your Good Cheer committee - Claire, Sandy, Linda, Sue, & Leslie!

Good Cheer Quilts Sept 2021

 All made by the Good Cheer ladies with an occasional assist from our pal Rita. 13 quilts in 4 weeks from 5 women. 

This one was made from blocks in a bag for a buck that I bought at Karolyn's driveway sale. Interesting block.

This one has hand stitched redwork heart motifs, stitched by Sandy, Claire and Linda I believe.

This is one of the kits you can pick up from us at the next guild meeting. It's called Charms on Point.

This is also a kit, called Sandy's Choice. Looks totally different with other fabric choices.

This is an orphan block quilt, made from all the leftovers, oddballs, misfits, etc that people give me. If you have some blocks that you don't know what to do with, bring to the next guild meeting and give them to me. I'll include them in the next orphan block quilt.

Good Cheer Quilts 2020 thru August 2021

 Hi - all these quilts were made primarily by the 4 members of the Good Cheer committee of North County Quilters, plus me, who moved back to the area in January 2020. Rita and Beth helped on a few. We met all during the 2020 lockdown - outside, 6ft apart, freezing in the winter and sweating in the summer - and all thru that time we made quilts. 

It started out with Sandy, the woman at whose house we meet, assigning us blocks to make for a quilt. Two weeks later, at our next meeting, we laid out the blocks, admired them, and then Sandy assigned the next quilt's worth of blocks. Eventually other members came up with the next block so we've done lots of different patterns, color combos, etc. It's all been great fun and we've made a lot of quilts.

We use donated fabric, fabric we've bought, fabric from our own stashes. The White Elephant committee has given us a lot of good stuff. Thread and batting mostly comes out of our own pockets. 

Following are just the 43 quilts that were on my camera roll, made during the year of September 2020 thru August 2021. I missed photographing a bunch because we've made a lot more. Claire gives a count in the newsletter each month. Enjoy!
