Relief Society Quilt Project

 The Relief Society - through the sister volunteers asked me to help them learn more about quilting .. I enjoyed sharing what I know - translated to Russian!

 Different kinds of quilting.

 I used old scraps of fabric from Christmas PJ's for quilts for the Fromm granddaughters!

 These are squares from those quilts showing the sisters how to piece things together.

 I used simple steps to show them.

 In our apartment I had to quilt without frames - so here I used the backs of two fabric chairs - the piins would hold the quilt a little bit tight - tight enough to sew on it!

 How the RS Room looked the night of the Quilting project - January 25, 2019 - they asked if they could keep the posters - of course!  I'm not going to take them home!!

 We started with cutting out the squares and then sewing them together and then tieing the baby quilt and then a sweet Russian sister did the binding - all in one evening!  Elder Smith found the boards and C-Clamps for us at a lumber store... used the back of the chairs for stands.

 Happy RS Sisters - new baby quilt for the District Presidents family - expecting their third boy in the spring.

 This is one I mde for them also - much smaller.  Sister Riskova wanted to learn how to applique - so we did the elephant together and then I finished this for her...so fun!

Another way of tieing a quilt without frames - this size fit between the arms of the overstuffed chair in the apartment!  I left a couple of 'pink' ones and 'blue' for future babies!
