The Weekly Wrap Up.

I'm trying to get as many quilt tops finished as possible so that they can be giving warm hugs to children in need.  I still have lots of tops to finish so I am still not accepting any unfinished items until I catch up with getting more finished. 

Many thanks everyone for generously donating so many beautiful quilt tops.

It's been another productive week and I have quilted all of these donated quilt tops,  crocheted a blanket, joined 4 smaller blankets together to make one larger blanket,  knitted 2 baby's jackets,  4 pair of booties and 2 jumpers for teddy bears.

I still have lots of donated tops to finish so it's good to make so much progress.
