Hi Quilters,

Are you ready to make quilts? Join us on Monday, June 20, 2022, in the KMVT workroom. We will be there from 10:00 AM until 4:00 PM to do our work. We still need you to knock hard on the door, so we can let you in to spend some time with us.

Our kids’ fabric box is overflowing. Indeed, it is more than one box. Since we always need infant quilts and youth quilts, please choose some cute fabric, or a panel, and make a great contribution to our stash of giveaways. The kids will love whatever you create. They are easy to please.

Sharon, our latest contributor, has made an amazing donation of fabrics, batting, and yarn. Phyllis and Gordon have made more than one trip to gather the donation. So, if you like to sort, there will be a job for you on Monday. There are also partially completed quilts if you’d like to finish up something that has been started. And, if you like to embroider, there are pillowcases to make beautiful.

Carolyn has moved the box of orphan blocks next to her poster of suggested designs. We have lots of fabrics that can be added to these blocks to make a nice quilt top.

There is a box of fat quarters and there are quilt patterns that call for just that size of fabric. We also have many, many 2 1/2 inch strips that can be incorporated into a new top.

Plus, if you don’t want to make up an idea on your own, our kit makers have many choices for you to look at and choose a new project.

We appreciate all of you who donate your time and talents to help us make Community Quilts so successful. All of us working together can create many beautiful and useful projects. It’s fun to see an idea come together with someone choosing a fabric, others helping choose coordinates and a pattern. Thank you all for being part of something good.

Here is the schedule for the days we will be meeting at KMVT through July:
Monday, June 20,
Wednesday, July 6, and Monday, July 18.
