The Gift of Giving.

In life, we will find very many people.  Each one as unique and different as the next.  Together we make up, the people of this planet.  It does not matter where we live, who we are or what we do.  We all want to be happy and healthy.  Have a good life.  Sometimes, we have speedbumps on the way, which we have seen recently.  Harvey and Irma, wildfires in British Columbia.  To name but a few.  Each and everyone of us can do something, to make a difference.  We can choose to do so.  Some donate money, others time.  Some the skills they have, to rebuild and others their ability to create.  Together, each little bit adds up, in the end, this is the difference, between failure and success.  It is a hairs breath difference, but oh my, what a difference!

 Quilts in the making for those in need.  Charm squares, come in handy, at times like these. No need to cut the fabric, it is precut.

A birthday bag for a teacher.  This is to keep a special book protected and all the children in class look forward to getting their turn, when it is their Birthday. They get to take it home, read the book with their parents and then bring it back, so that everyone gets a turn.

 Gifts from the heart.

 Finding time to add details.

Every square is used, nothing goes to waste.

The Bargello class has started:

Sewing the strips into pairs.

Make sure the two fabric strips is straight and the edges aligned.  Not like this one above.

This is the way the strips should be.  Making sure the even numbers are on top, when sewing the pairs together. Maintaining an even quarter inch seam, when sewing strips of fabric into pairs.

Embroidery, on this quilt, says it so well.
