PROJECT LINUS AND OTHER DESTINATIONS

I have been making lap robe sized summer quilts (i.e. no batting) backed with corduroy, flannel or fleece in an attempt to reduce my stash and my collection of scraps. I deliver them to a local group that does volunteer work, Green Mountain RSVP, but had no idea exactly where they would end up. A nice thank you note from Project Linus answered that question!

ONE SOLUTION My strip-scraps had collected, A stuffed-full box I had: It bothered and it teased me, Made me feel a little sad:

So many lovely fabrics

With memories were here,

A pity not to turn them into

Something I could share.

So I stitched those strips and pressed them,

Then cut them up again

And sewed the shapes together

To make a scrap quilt that’s not plain!

I found some fabric for the back,

(Several pieces came into play)

Layered, tacked and bound it --

And then I gave it away!
