Tippecanoe and Tyler Too

Tippecanoe was a battle against the Indians in 1811. John Tyler was nominated for Vice President in 1840. Here is my latest quilt for charity, Tippecanoe and Tyler Too , a block from the Quilters Cache site. I made six blocks and framed them with an eight inch border. The large border was useful. I used it to practice machine quilting a feather motif.

Quilt group was fun today. We are planning another meeting for Friday to cut fabric strips for kits to make more charity quilts, which will go to Children of the Forest. Deb recently visited the village and she says they are doing well, trying to support themselves with mushroom growing and rice milling among other industries. They enjoyed our last donation of over 200 quilts for kids.
