Quiltsy Cares 3/5/19

Mary Swinton is today's featured quilter.  She also helps with quilts for Quilts of Valor.  Her Etsy shop is Quilting Granny.

Isn't this a beautiful quilt?  This is what Mary has to say about her charity work:

"My brother received a quilt of valor and I saw how much it meant to him that I wanted others who have served to have the same experience and feeling of appreciation for their service.

My small quilt group made two quilts of valor. I not only made some of the blocks but also sewed the blocks together for the quilts. The quilt is a strip quilt with a white center thus forming a star. Quilted into the star areas were words of thanks for their service. These quilts will be given to veterans on the honor flights to Washington, DC."


Mary is from Lincoln, Nebraska

Quiltsy Team Great Finds: 11-18-14 Table Runners!

Warm greetings from the land of 10,000 lakes (now frozen) of Minnesota!

Well it is that time of year when the holidays are fast approaching, and for some of us, the weather is changing from nice to barely tolerable!  When I think about holidays I think, "how will I decorate for them?"  The one main staple of decorating for me is having table runners on my kitchen table, in the living room on the end tables under the lamps, and small ones on the top of my toilets (yes, they work better than the fuzzy covers you buy in the store and much more chic).  In addition, they make the best hostess, teacher, or co-worker gifts!

I have found some beautiful holiday table runners in the following Etsy shops to make your shopping easy and fast.  Remember, PLEASE CLICK on the team shop to see all their beautiful items!

I started Gallagher Custom Quilting because originally quilting for me started as a hobby and something I did with my sisters.  Now, quilting is more than a hobby - it's a passion!  I love making custom quilts for all occasions and especially like creating quilts with a specific theme and table runners.  I also provide custom longarm quilting services.  I joined the Quiltsy Team on Etsy in 2013.
