Hi Quilters,
We will be working on Monday, July 15, 2022, in the KMVT workroom from 10:00 AM until 4:00 PM. Knock hard on the door, so we can let you in to spend some time with us in our nice cool workspace along with other amazing quilters.
Your help is greatly appreciated as we work toward completing quilts for another delivery day. We will be delivering in August, so any projects need to be completed and returned to us by the first meeting date that month (August 3).
An interesting project for individuals or groups might be completing some already cut fleece blankets by tying their edges. Anyone who can tie a square knot can make these blankets. Another idea is to take some of our grand stash of florals to create a top. The bin of panels is overflowing. These could be made into simple quilts.
Reminder: please check the size charts for quilts we like to distribute. Small quilts should be at least 42 inches square. They are used to cover the isolettes in the NICU. Smaller quilts don’t work as well to protect the babies’ eyes.
Don’t forget to check our Facebook pages and website for pictures of quilts that have been made for Community Quilts. It’s fun to see what can be made from our stash of fabric and panels.
We received a nice note from Northstar IHSS. Christine wrote, “We thank you for the quilts, cases, and laundry bags. We have distributed many already to families in need. What a blessing.”
Here is the schedule for the days we will be meeting at KMVT through September:
Monday, July 18,
Wednesday, August 3, and Monday, August 15,
Wednesday, September 7, and Monday, September 19.
