Taking a Break!!

I wanted to inform you all that the quilt project is now on hold.  Two of the sewers went to Thailand to work last year leaving Sophoan as the only remaining seamstress.  She continued on this past year, but is now helping care for Gideon in Bangkok and is no longer sewing.

Thanks to a dear sister in Christ, our inventory is now down to ZERO!  I have had a few sales over the past few months, and now this sister in Christ has offered to purchase all the remaining quilts!  I am very grateful to God for HIS loving care over this project.  We started it because we felt HIS urging to do so.  And now it seems good to take a break.  I don't know if it will start up again, but I will certainly let you know if it does.

Many many thanks to all of you who helped make this project successful - providing jobs for women in rural Cambodia.  

Blessings,
Gayle

February 2013 Quilts

I wanted to share some quilt updates with you!

Sophoan's newest creation called "Mosaic Memories".  Very colorful and very well done.

Measures 66 x 87 inches

Cost: $60

This red and gold "Annie's" quilt was made from a red sarong.  It has the pretty sarong edging around the outside of the quilt.

Measures: 67 1/2 x 81 inches

Cost: $60

This Cilla quilt is actually rectangular in size.  Normally we've only made square "Cilla" quilts because of the square nature of the pattern.  But many people have asked for a rectangular size, so here is a gold sarong quilt measuring 72 x 80 inches.  This quilt is already sold, but we will begin to make more twin size "Cilla" quilts soon.

Log cabin quilts are not new for K13 Creations, but here is a new look.  I like to call it "Popsicle" log cabin.  

This quilt has already sold.

 We still have lots of baby and child size quilts.  If anyone is interested in seeing what we have, let me know. This particular quilt has already sold, but we have many more pretty ones to choose from.

Wow.  I can't believe it's been so long since I've updated the quilt blog!!  We are currently down to one sewing lady - Sophoan - as two of the other women are now working in Thailand.  Sophoan has made a lot of quilts using up leftover bits of fabrics and has made some gorgeous creations with lots of color!

We had a good selling season over the holidays and Sophoan made many beautiful Christmas quilts.  Here is a new one made from lots of little bits.  I call this a "hodge-podge" quilt/wall hanging.

This Christmas panel was donated to us, so Sophoan made it up for the church.  It was displayed through the month of December at the ministry center, and then was part of the decoration for the Christmas outreach. 

 The most beautiful and creative quilt Sophoan recently made was this quilt we call "Heather's quilt".  We are naming it after the person that asked us to give this a try.  Sophoan spent many hours in trial and error to make it all fit together just right.  This turned out to be queen-sized, but she will take it a step further and make it with the bargello border.  She will continue to refine this pattern and we hope to have many more available in the coming months!
