It’s Comfort Quilt Day
Monday, January 28th: Bring the supplies you need to use – if you are making kits, you will need a mat, ruler, and rotary cutter. If you want to piece a quilt, then bring your machine and the usual supplies.
If you have not seen this project in action, you are missing out on all the gorgeous colored fabrics spread out on the big table. My favorite part is choosing fabrics and a pattern to make a kit. I like to make the quilts at home because I’m too easily distracted by all the action going on in the Hall.
Pillowcase Sew Day
On Monday, Nov. 13th (Okay, tomorrow), the quilter’s guild will create kits for pillowcase sewing at home and put some of them together in the hall.
We have a bunch of fun with this project, and so do the recipients. Usually, we get special requests from county child services to “custom” make pillowcases according to the child’s taste. Adult protective services are also provided with personalized pillowcases.
The personalized pillowcases program, created by Donna Staub, and now being managed by Joan Patterson, has become extremely popular, so that means we have many, MANY pillowcases to sew around holiday time. Many kids and older adults are in temporary homes and do not have access to their own things. To get a custom-made pillowcase, just for them, means so much.
I hope you consider joining us tomorrow morning starting at 9:00 am. You won’t regret it!
