A New Leash on Life Quilts

A whole bag of blocks and small unfinished quilt tops were donated to ANLOL Market Place in Sept. 2011. I will be finishing them and giving them to the shop to sell.

City Cats & Country Cats, Oct. 2011

I just needed a nice backing fabric (the country cats) and added the varigated embroidered cats in each corner of the front (the city cats).

Plea Market, Nov. 2010

Partially finished quilt was donated to A New Leash on Life Market Place thrift store in late summer or early fall 2010. It had been done pillowcase-style and partially tied with peach and forest green pearl cotton. I took out all the ties and unstitched the turned edges. I re-layered the quilt ,machine quilted the center in a stipple pattern, did straight lines in the inner border and green leaves in the outer border. I added a darked green and pink flowered binding which was stitched in place with a heavy peach thread. Fused label on the back says "Quilt donated to A New Leash on Life; finished by Anne Tinker ; 2010 Plea Market"
