Here is the fourth UFO quilt all bound and ready to be donated. Some of you might recognize these blocks because you did them last year too. These blocks are from the Bloggers BOM hosted by
Jackie of Canton Village Quilt Works.
Here are some details of the quilting done by the amazing
Laura! Thanks Laura for doing all these quilts for me.
Every time I would sit down to work on the binding of each quilt I would think, "I want to keep this quilt for myself." Laura just made these quilts extra special. I will not keep any them, of course, because my original plan was to donate them. Where I am donating them? I am donating them to
Hopes and Dreams Quilt Challenge for ALS-Lou Gehrig's disease. I don't know anyone with this disease but for some reason it really touches my heart. The quilts are given to ALS patients or used to raise awareness. This challenge is put on by Quilters Dream batting. I have donated quilts to this cause for several years. There are prizes but that is not why I donate. I just want to share some quilts with patients.
So as I was going through my sewing room getting ready to move to my new space I found two more quilts that I am going to share. This one was made from all kinds of blocks which was just placed in a random setting.
This was one of my first quilts I made. Maybe you have some quilts you would like to donate. The minimum size is 35" x 44 or larger.
So I will put these quilts in the mail after I share them at our guild meeting next Monday night. I am linking up the Blogger's BOM on the June finishes linky party at
Such a Sew and Sew.
There is still time to link up your "Nothing but UFOs" for this month
here.
With Passion,
Carrie P.

Love the colours in your first quilt. Well done on making such a commitment to donate these beautiful quilts.
I was wondering where you were planning to donate these quilts. What a lovely thing to do. I will have to check my finished quilts and see if there is one or two that I can send. Thanks for the info.
The quilting is wonderful and so is your work. I love your blogger BOM. There are so many wonderful ways for quilters to make a difference.
Very pretty quilts, Carrie. As happy as they make you, just think of the delight they will bring to the deserving recipients! Laura does a great job, too; what a team! :)
Looks great now that it is all bound:)
What a beautiful trio of quilts!
Those are beautiful quilts and it is really wonderful of you to donate them to a worthy cause. I hope i can get better at quilting so i can do some charity quilts.

Beautiful quilt and quilting!!

Your other quilts look great too.
Several beautiful quilts and a wonderful cause! blessings, marlene
Beautiful quilts and great that you are going to donate them.
Beautiful quilts and quilting.You and your friend are very talented.
I know your quilts will be appreciated by the ALS patients. As a private duty nurse, I have taken care of 2 ALS patients. ALS affects their muscles but not their mind. They are totally aware of everything just not able to use their paralysed body. They will treasure and enjoy your quilts, as well as the love they represent.
Beautiful quilts and for such a great cause , you are very generous. I lost a good friend to this disease two years ago , she was a talented writer of childrens books , it was so sad to loose her .
Lovely quilts and a wonderful idea to donate them. Have a great weekend!
such a beautiful quilt and what a generous person you are to donate quilts which we all know take a lot of time, love and money to make.
Very lovely quilts and for a very good cause. thanks for sharing.
These are all gorgeous! Not sure which I like better...those pinks and sherbets? or the purple?
Great idea for sharing.
Just found your blog, and it is definitely serendipity! I have a very long-time friend who has ALS, so I will be sending three quilts off as soon as I can find a box (and the cord to my printer!). Thank you!
Your donation quilts are terrific! Love the first one!
Bless you for your donations to this organization. I have 2 friends who have lost their sister and sister-in-law to the disease. So sad.
I'm so glad for you to be having these beautiful finishes! I'm working on my Blogger's BOM too, having just put together the quilt center in a different sort of layout that makes the center 60" X 60". Now some bee mates are making border blocks for me.
That you're giving away your quilts is just marvelous. I will be doing the same with several of my UFOs, though I'm still a ways away from finishing the ones I have in mind. Still, I'm determined, and I'm plugging away. Keep up your great efforts.
Oh I love finishes and even more when they come together. I love your finishes.
Gorgeous quilting!!
Wow! That quilt is just gorgeous. I love the rich colors and the quilting is beautiful. And what a great cause to donate it too. Congrats on a great finish and thank you for linking up!
