Wednesday--Time to Show What We Been Up To!

 It's time to give my weekly accounting of what's been going on in the world of 'Margaret's Hope Chest'.  I am enjoying linking up at 'Freshly Pieced' and seeing what other quilters are doing--I never fail to be inspired by something I see over there.  

Plus, Lee is starting a new quilt-along-check it out.  Personally, I can't join right now because of the commitments I have made for the kids school fund raising auction.  Speaking of which--here is the start of the Dr. Seuss quilt.  I have to embroider around the hats and add the bow ties still but you get the general idea of where I am going-wonky, bright and fun!

 My big finish of the week was Steven's quilt.  I couldn't be happier with how it turned out.  I love the colors and the boldness--and I think it might even pass for a modern-ish quilt--can I get a confirmation on that from a 'modern' quilter out there?  His birthday is the 24th and so I will send it out on the 22nd from Alabama--phew! And in other fantastic 'Wrapped in Hope' news......I only have 3 more available kids on the list!!!! That means we have matched 144 kids with volunteer quilters so far-only by the grace of God has this happened.  Current volunteers spreading the word through their own blogs seems to be our best form of advertising.  I am praying that those last three kids are picked up very soon and I can move on to the next project :) FYI- Those 3 remaining kids are:

7-9-99--Kevin from Georgia will be 12--sports, basketball, football

11-18-94--Kyana from Georgia will be 17--jewelry, blue, puppies

12-12-92--Santana from Georgia will be 19--Bright colors
