A few pics of the 86 charity quilts that were made to go to an orphanage in Maracaibo, Venezuela.
The quilts go to Florida by USPS and then by a trading company, on boat to Venezuela.
One lady made 13 of the quilts. A total of fifteen people made the quilts.(I had time to made 2 )
The shipping monies were also donated. It was beautiful seeing all those quilts placed together.

Beverly- love your quilt, the design, colors are so playful and bright.

Renta- Your bags are lovely. Like how you finished where the handles are attached. My sister has made many bags. I'll share your idea.

Okay, I just finished something...

I made mother/daughter carry-on bags for my DSIL and my niece when they travel. My sister-in-law's bag is ultra-suede and my niece's is brushed cotton. They're identical so I'm showing you the front on one and the back on the other. My father-in-law owned a popular Chinese restaurant in NYC near Broadway back in the 1950s frequented by the artistic/stage community of the day (was good enough to be reviewed by Craig Claiborne back then). My DSIL only had a few requests: a logo with the restaurant's name, specific dimensions for the bag, inner pockets so she wouldn't have to dig for cell phone and other things, not-too-long handles, zipper and waterproof lining. Sounds like a lot but it really isn't... except for I had to learn how to do everything including putting in a zipper which I'd never done. So glad it's over, I hope they like them. I have to admit, I learned a lot. Sorry I could not get the lining picture any better than it is. I guess I should brush the markings off the bags before I mail them...

Whereas Lorchan & I are exhanging one shape for another

So that now I don't know what shape I am. A year ago on a bad day I just thought I was a pyramid (starting with narrow shoulders and just getting steadily wider as I went down

) At least I don't get those feelings any more, now I have found my waist again

I suppose the advantages of circles & ovals is that you don't have any corners to mitre

But, let's face it, we are a quirky bunch of lizards and it is possible for anyone to come up with something totally wild and different (on purpose...or not) No insults from here. After all, I myself am a funny shape
