sew day – Independence Hall Quilters Guild

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!

It’s that time when the Independence Hall Quilters Guild takes their summer break and the Community Center begins setting up for the annual Flea Market (first weekend in August)

flea_market-Hall — Clothes, Books, Games, Movies, China, Glassware and misc. treasures!

The Quilt Guild’s last meeting is June 20th, then we start back up on Labor Day Monday, September 5th. And what do we do in the months in between? Well, we help with the flea market effort, work on comfort quilt kits that we “checked out”, and then there are our own quilts we entered into the quilt show to finish and sew sleeves on the back for hanging them on frames.

Oh, and BTW – June 20 is a “Free Sew Day”!!

(It is a lot more exciting than it sounds …)
