Found the pictures - does anyone remember this? Any idea where it is?
Does anyone have a pattern for a pieced alphabet made of small fabric squares, not just one piece of fabric cut into a letter shape for applique?
Need at least 2 quilts quilted and BOTH my quilters that I go to no longer do longarm quilting for others. 😩 Does anyone have recommendations of who I may contact that does lovely work? Also have a brand new friend to quilting that has a quilt done and would like it quilted, she is somewhat of a perfectionist so someone more seasoned might be better for her. Myself I am not too particular as long as they do good work. If you would rather PM that is just fine!! Thanks!
Trying to finish up a UFO, but it seems I have misplaced the directions. Does anyone have the directions to make the “Micro-Oven Mitts”. It was a kit the guild cut out and sold a million years ago.

By one of our very own talented members! Way to go Joan Thomas!

"I Am a Rock" by Joan Thomas of Grand Haven, Michigan

People are trying to find balance in their lives. Some find balance by letting things roll off themselves. This quilt is made from fabric that I dyed in a Shibori dying class. It is embellished with glass beads and is quilted with clear monofilament thread in the matchstick technique.

Members of the Lighthouse Quilt Guild in Grand Haven have found a unique way to help the valiant people of Ukraine. Joined by women of the United Methodist Church of the Dunes, they are organizing weekly “sewing bees” to create patchwork quilts for the children of refugees. As many as 100,000 refugees have been approved for arrival in the United States, with an estimated 10-20,000 of them children. A Ukrainian church in Detroit will host some of the first groups arriving. Lighthouse quilts will be sent there to comfort and welcome the children.

Guild members Betty Roberts and Annette Allen are leading the group. Volunteers meet weekly at the guild’s regular meeting place, the United Methodist Church of the Dunes, Sheldon at Colfax, Grand Haven. They create patchwork blocks and assemble them into quilt tops. Additional volunteers quilt the tops and add a finished binding. Patterns and fabrics and fellowship are shared and all are careful to include the blue and yellow colors of the Ukrainian flag¬ in their creations.

Many other volunteers are working at home to make quilts to donate.
