Lap Robes for Hospital Chaplaincy Services
Mar. 4, 2009

The church we attended for a couple of years before our move this past fall had a Ladies Aid group. One of the things I enjoyed was making these 40" x 40" two layer (no batting or blanket in the center) lap robes for the ministry. The Ladies Aid then donated all the laprobes to Hospital Chaplaincy Services. These are just a sample of some of the quilts I did for this project.

Katy's Pink Ice Skates
Mar. 4, 2009

Posted in Gallery of Past Quilts

I know this sweet little girl, who has several older brothers, but is none the less "all girl" in many ways. Not to long ago - a year or two maybe - Miss K.T. wanted PINK ice skates. Do you realize how hard it is to find such a beast?

Ms. MaggieRaye did the only thing she could think of and made this sweet Miss K.T. a quilt of ice skates in as many different pink fabrics as I could find.

I received the most wonderful thank you note, telling me that she uses it to wrap up in after she's been out playing ice hockey with her older brothers.

This is a quilt I did in a weekend last April. It was done for a family friend. It fits a double bed and is NOT my favorite size to work with.

I wrote this up years ago, and thought I'd share it here. I won't get it finished today, so check back again to read it in it's entirety. Eventually each word will have a reason or description of how it influenced the making of my CommonFolk Quilts.

Blessings, MaggieRaye

Photobucket Test - After Janets Wonderful Tutorial
Aug. 8, 2008

Posted in Gallery of Past Quilts

Okay, Janet gave me a pix by pix tutorial to do this - and I'm still being my typical technologically challenged self. I'm going to give it another shot. If it works, you'll see baby, Lizbeth, as promised, if not . . . who knows. Oh, look, it worked. It really worked. Thanks Janet.

Blessings, MaggieRaye
