November 2024 - Comfort Quilts & Show and Tell
November 14th
​​
This is a hybrid meeting.
​​
Comfort Quilts
Members make lovely quilts and throws from donated fabrics and services. The finished quilts are given to programs within our area that help children, teens, and adults in need. It takes many hands to make all the quilts that are requested. Some create kits for a specific pattern. Others pick up and sew tops. Another may do the long arming and someone else bind the quilts. You choose what and when you want to work on them. Non-members can join in the effort, too, if you have a friend who is looking for a quilting project. All of the fabrics, batting, backing, etc. are provided out of the vast stash that we have. Kits are available for home sewing.
​
Currently, Comfort Quilts is looking for an additional 45 potholders to reach their goal of 400. These must be submitted prior to or at the November meetings.
Requested Quilt Sizes:
Comfort Quilts should be no smaller than 40" x 55" and no larger than 60" x 75". Anything in between is just fine.
Show and Tell
In addition to a comfort quilts presentation, we are asking members to bring their own quilts in for an extended Show and Tell. We hope to see your holiday projects and gifts before you need to send them to y our loved ones!
