Clinton School quilts - first donation

Michael had another very early golf tee time on Thursday (8/27) and I jumped up and got an embroidery done and the car packed before heading off to quilting.  I wasn’t very productive at quilting, but I did have a great time talking to people :~).  When I came home, I spent a lot of the afternoon pulling together my first donation of quilts for Clinton School.  When I first started talking about it, someone at quilting (that's you Linda!) asked me if I had a goal for the number of quilts I wanted to donate.  Since I was donating 10 to Sterling School for 2015, I thought I would shoot for 10 for Clinton…..well, this first donation blew that out of the water….I pulled together 12 quilts!!!  So…I think I’m going to shoot for a total of 20 for 2015 for Clinton School.  Debbie (the 4th grade teacher) stopped by to pick up the quilts and she was IN AWE!!!  She said she wanted to turn right around and take them to school because the teachers were going to go crazy!!!  Here's the parade:

These were done in 2013...I quilted them on my regular sewing machine...they have polar fleece backs:

These were some of the first quilts completed on Miss Scarlett:

 

remember this one BG?  I did the whole top while visitng you!

 

And of course, these you recently saw, they were made especially with Clinton School in mind..they are backed by polar fleece:

I truly have felt so energized by these Clinton School quilts and I feel like this is part of my purpose in life.  I am excited about the quilts I have planned for the future and happy that I have someplace to donate them where they are surely needed.  

By then it was dinnertime and we had Orange Chicken (from Trader Joe’s), and then I headed back downstairs.  Michael wanted to watch a few of his shows, and I never got any sewing done on Thursday, so I wanted to spend an hour or 2 doing that.  I got another embroidery done and continued sewing together blocks from another quilt, then headed upstairs to watch just a bit of TV before bed.
