At the March meeting, we will be bringing quilt kits for tops to be pieced in traditional fashion. There will also be a sign-up sheet for dates and times to come to Ann’s house to make more kits. This is a big push to clear much of our current donations for charity quilts.
Also at the March meeting, we will have components for quilt sandwiches to be quilted. Some may be best done on a long-arm or free-style machine. So, any of you with this type of machine, please consider taking a bundle. However, some will be small enough to be manageable on a standard machine. The quilting does not need to be fancy – sturdy is best!
There will also be kits available for strip quilts, also known as quilt-as-you-go quilts. These are easy to complete on a standard sewing machine.
If you would like to make a charity quilt of your own design, you can gather some or all of the materials you need from donated fabrics available from our philanthropy team.
Thank you to all of you who took tops to quilt or bind at the February meeting!
Dozens of quilts were delivered to Sleep in Heavenly Peace and Big Bend Hospice in the last month.
