We are finished with the Nativity quilt! Lots of detailed quilting was added this week. Check out the donkey’s mane and the manager! We certainly have some talented ladies.
Two of our paper-piecing ladies were not present for our group photograph … Liz and Lynn. Marie and Maria joined us for the group photo. They did not participate in the paper-piecing part of the quilt but were such a great help with hand sewing the binding and hiding the thread tails.
The Nativity quilt will appear at all Masses in the narthex this weekend and will be auctioned in the live auction at St. Martha’s Fall Festival on Saturday, October 3.
Martha’s Quilters also has a booth with lots of wonderful handcrafted items at the Fall Festival!

Dixie – The quilt is absolutely beautiful and an amazing piece of work! I hope you get buckets of money but more importantly, that the person who buys it appreciates all the hard work. Good job to all!!!!

Dixie, this quilt is too wonderful for words! It was good before being quilted, but now it’s really fabulous! Thanks for sharing the story!
FYI – there’s a company/Facebook site which has “borrowed” the image of your group holding the nativity quilt and is claiming to offer it for sale for $49.95. They’ve done the same thing to quite a few other quilters, and appear to be scam artists.

This is the correct link.
We did not give permission for this. I have asked them to take it down. Unfortunately, that is about all I can do! Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
I bought this pattern but it makes a much smaller version. Is there a bigger pattern that your group used?
We purchased the pattern from the site I mentioned. It is a nice size when it is finished. I couldn’t tell you the dimensions after all these years.
