This week I made four more blocks for Canada\u2019s biggest Quilt Bee<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0 These blocks are more wonky (and were more fun to make!) than the six blocks<\/a> I made a couple of weeks ago.<\/p>\n

Quilters across Canada (and in other countries, too!) are making blocks with the goal of\u00a0 making 1,000 quilts for kids at Ronald McDonald Houses across Canada.\u00a0 Some quilters are sending completed quilts, but many others are sending quilt tops and\/or quilt blocks.<\/p>\n

For 3 1\/2 days in June 2017, at Quilt Canada in Toronto ON, the tops and blocks will be sewn into quilts by volunteer quilters.\u00a0 There will be sewing machines, long arms, mid arms and an army of volunteers to sew the blocks together and create the quilts.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ve signed up for the Friday afternoon shift.\u00a0 It’s going to be a lot of fun!<\/p>\n
