Most quilters have a cause that they quilt for . . . there are so many worthwhile organizations . . . but my charity of choice is
Hospice Calgary - a not-for profit organization that does amazing work - lead by an amazing team of dedicated professionals. I made this quilt for a fund raiser for Hospice Calgary.
The pattern is Starlight by Marilyn Foreman and uses a selection of Timeless Treasures fabrics. The centre "Tree of Life" is a panel surrounded by 24 star blocks. I quilted it using an all over design, with continuous curve quilting in each of the blocks. The backing is Northcott Stonehenge Gold - perfect! Glide Thread - Sand; Hobbs 80/20 batting.
I hope it did well at the silent auction . . .
