Hi quilting friends,
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you in Community Quilts. You make the season happier for those in need. Our next meeting will be on Monday, December 16, 2024. We will meet in our regular meeting area to tie, cut, sew, sort, and everything else we do. We hope to see you there.
Here are our year-end totals for 2024. We created and distributed the following items:
666 quilts, 594 pillowcases, 276 laundry bags, 1270 cuddle cloths, 14 table runners. In addition, we reported in our last email that we created 20 doll quilts and 136 doll clothes for the baby dolls and 18 inch dolls: 10 of each doll. Isn’t this just the most amazing group of loving, generous folks? We have lots of fabric to share, but there are folks who use some pieces of their own stashes to create beautiful items for us. What a caring group of sewers, quilters, and tiers CQ is.
As we distribute our gifts, we receive smiles and thankful messages from everyone. It is a very rewarding time that we want to pass along to all of you who make Community Quilts possible. Here are some of the thank-yous we have received:
*Rising Stars raised around $1500 for the beautiful horse quilt that we donated.
*Youth Crisis Center thanked us for the quilts that “offered comfort and warmth to youth who are struggling with mental health issues.
*St. Luke’s Foundation thanked us for our “thoughtfulness and generosity” in creating and donating quilts for cancer patients, pediatrics, pillowcases, and cuddle cloths.
*Sage Women’s Center thanked us for our continuing support.
We still have lots of quilt kits and pillowcase kits for you to choose from. Take a look!
January 1, 2025, falls on our usual first Wednesday. We have made arrangements to move our first Wednesday to Thursday, January 2, 2025. We look forward to seeing you after the first.
We will be meeting in our workroom at KMVT on the first Wednesday and the third Monday of each month. Our times are from 10:00 AM until 3:30 PM.
Coming dates are:
Monday, December 16, 2024
