Hi Quilters,
Can you believe that half of this year is already gone? We will be working on Wednesday, July 6, 2022, in the KMVT workroom from 10:00 AM until 4:00 PM. We still need you to knock hard on the door, so we can let you in to spend some time with us.
We have lots of fabric all sorted and ready to go. You can use your imagination or use one of our kits. We have lots of them ready to go, too.
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.
The box for binding is overflowing. The folks have been working hard at tying quilts to ready for their bindings. But, guess what? We still have lots of kits ready for tying, so we need lots of folks to tie. We are tying about eight quilts a session, but we could do more.
We are planning to schedule a distribution sometime in August. So we need to have things ready to go by then.
Machine quilters can pick up quilts on Wednesday at KMVT, or check at Twin Falls Sewing Center for kits to longarm and pillowcases to make. The quilts in our box at TFSC are smaller sizes that are just right for beginners.
Susan Stallings, our mentor, great quilter, and friend, will be moving with Dan to be nearer their children who live in Utah. Many of your know that she has been working with Community Quilts for over 20 years. She will be missed as her leadership has been amazing. We wish her luck and will enjoy the time we have with her until their house sells and the move is complete.
Here is the schedule for the days we will be meeting at KMVT through August:
Wednesday, July 6, and Monday, July 18,
Wednesday, August 3, and Monday, August 15.
