Our local quilt guild, The Cabin Country Quilters in Fort Frances, Ontario, donates a quilt to a local cancer charity for their biennial event called "The Luncheon of Hope". They have been donating the raffle quilt for this event for many years and this year we chose the Lookout Quilt. We purchased the quilt kit from Fabriculous in Brandon, MB. and the pattern is by Elizabeth Hartman.
Our members each made a few blocks and we assembled it at our November meeting. I just finished quilting it and now gets passed on to another guild member to do the binding.
I quilted it with the Ombre pantograph, used a light green So Fine thread and Quilters Dream Blend batting. The backing is a lovely dark brown CuddleTex.
Its been quite a challenge getting any outdoor picture this winter so far. It has been very cloudy and mild with freezing rain but now that the skies are blue that means cold and windy!
Wow, this has been put together perfectly, super quilting, what a magnificent joint work of art.
