Sand and Sea Wrap Up from Kat & Cat Quilts

Tammy here! If you have had enough turkey, dressing, and the trimmings that you don't want to eat for a week, here is another feast that won't make you feel too fat:

All 24 of the Covered in Love May/June block drive of quilts produced here in Kansas. There is a whole lotta love here.

Thanks again to all who helped!

These quilts have been posted on Tammy's blog throughout the past months, and some have also been posted on Kat's blog here.

There were a total of 26 quilts from the drive, 24 made ...

Sand and Sea (so far) from Kat & Cat Quilts

Happy Friday! Lots of fun quilts to show this week from the May/June block drive.

As may of you probably remember, Tammy guest hosted the May/June block drive. She picked out a large eye-spy blocks in sand and sea colors and has been steadily finishing them into quilts!

There was a great response to this drive and Tammy has been busy! Fortunately she has help from her friends at a charity quilt shop in Leavenworth Kansas.

I really like the different ways they have come up with to arrange the blocks, like this one with the dark-to-light fades ...

Johanna and the Longarmers from Kat & Cat Quilts

We got some BIG quilts back recently that had been sent out to longarmers. These tops were all made by Johanna and Tammy quilted this one.

This great big top was quilted by Ray in Florida. I love how I can always identify Johanna's tops by the colors and fabrics.

This slightly more tame to was also quilted by Tammy. Thanks guys!

We've had a little bit of cat drama around here. Fluffy (who I used to call Rey, but honestly we've only ever called her Fluffy) went missing for a couple days and came back with ...

Thankful for the Helpers from Kat & Cat Quilts

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”― Fred Rogers

Happy Thanksgiving, quilters! I hope you are warm and maybe enjoying some cozier, smaller gathering than usual this year amidst everything that's going on. This year I'm more thankful than ever for all my helpers! Like Beth T. who sent in this top, and Kathy who quilted it. The seven quilts in this post bring us to 12 for the March/April block drive ...

Spinning Pinwheels from Kat & Cat Quilts

Hey everybody, I hope your Labor Day was relaxing and you had a good week. I've got some bright and sunny quilts to show off! The first ones from the March-April block drive.

These were pieced together and quilted by some of CiL's wonderful helpers! The first 3 were done by Beryl in UT. She likes to use this wavy line quilting that I really like the look of.

Yellow and blue is my mom's favorite color scheme and I love how spring-y and bring these quilts look! They're some warm and happy looking.

These next ...

Fresh String Quilts Up! from Kat & Cat Quilts

It's still July, technically, and we've got some of Jan/Feb's string quilts done! These are always a super popular block drive so it's a marathon to get them all turned into quilts.

Assembled and quilted by Holly

Covered in Love is blessed by the problem of too many blocks! Long-time supporter has Holly jumped in to help with assembly and quilting and she put together the one above.

This year's block design was an experiment and we are experimenting with different layouts as they come together. You can see the design Tammy S. did ...

Count the Stars: Round 3 from Kat & Cat Quilts

FYI
During the COVID 19 pandemic Covered in Love continues to make quilts to support grieving families when relatives pass away in the hospital. This is something that will, unfortunately, probably become even more necessary in the coming weeks and months. When loved ones pass with limited or no visitation and there can be no funeral or viewing of the body something tangible to hold onto to mark the transition becomes even more important.

We are not, as an organization, sewing masks, gowns, or other personal protective equipment at this time. Many other organizations are filling that role and so ...
