This is the donation quilt our quilting bee made. Last week Roberta (peeking up over the quilt), Jeanne (on the right) and I went to an Alzheimers office to donate our beautiful heart quilt. In this picture, the lady on the left is Sheila who works at the facility. She was so sweet and kind. I can see how she would work well with Alzheimers patients. The manager came out of a meeting to greet us and accept the quilt as a donation for their upcoming art auction/sale. We are hoping this quilt will raise lots of money for this Alzheimers organization.
Cindy Carter is the designer of this quilt pattern. Our quilting group had a fun time making the blocks for this quilt. I sewed together the blocks and added the borders, Jeanne did the binding and Roberta crafted a great label for the quilt. One of our members did the machine quilting. I wish you could see it up close so that you could see the beautiful machine quilting.
Now that this quilt is finished and donated, it is on to our next project. I truly enjoy working on group projects like this. It gives me a great sense of community when we can make and donate a beautiful quilt like this to a worthy organization.

Your donation Heart quilt is beautiful! I love the quilting too! I hope it raises a lot of money! Someone is going to get a lovely quilt made by your generous mini group! I bet you already have a new project started! :o)
Wow, the quilt came out great, Pam! And what a wonderful organization to donate it to. Great job!
Oh fabulous quilt - I love it when donation quilts have time and thought put into them. I've heard way to many people say "Oh it is just a charity quilt - they'll be glad to get anything and won't complain if it isn't a nice quilt". I'm sure they won't complain - they have more manners that the person giving a shoddy quilt. Your group did a wonderful job.
