Each year my church quilting group, Lydia Circle, places a quilt up for Silent Auction at the annual church Bazaar and Turkey Dinner. It will have a label and be displayed in our entry for a few weeks ahead of the Bazaar for people to start bidding. This year's quilt is special and I just finished the binding.
Randy's Christmas Star was a great pleasure for all of us to work on. Randy was one of our quilter's. She passed away a several months back and her children were going through her things. She was a avid quilter and a huge supply of quilting items, fabrics and projects. The family gave Lydia Circle many boxes of items. We sorted, gave some away, sold some and kept some. I was just starting to organize our quilters to make a Christmas quilt for the annual Bazaar when we stumbled on to a quilt top that Randy started, but was not completed. She had all the fabric needed for the quilt and we were able to complete the blocks and borders from that fabric. Each block is different and all have a Christmas theme. So, we created Randy's Christmas Star Quilt. She would have been very pleased and honored to have her quilt auctioned off. The proceeds from the sale of the quilt goes to support local charities and our church various missions. Check out the great ideas at Off the Wall Friday
Happy Quilting Everyone!
