We had a small group of 9 ladies today. They were the lucky ones to see a very large fabric donation come in. A couple who ran a quilt shop somewhere north contacted me to ask if we take donations. They closed the shop and wanted to donate the remaining fabric . Today they came with the prints, mostly yardage, and some fat quarters and 1 yard pieces. It was overwhelming, but we managed to sort out the Christmas fabrics and smaller pieces. The yardage is sorted somewhat by color/theme. Lynn Delgado helped me put the bags of large pieces into storage. I will bring them back a little at a time in the Spring.
This couple said they have more and will probably bring the
solid fabrics next week. It promises to
be a lot as well. She said something about some marble fabric that she still
has to go through, so we may be in for even more.
Bev Minnerly made some walker bags.
and a tote.
During the meeting she also finished the binding on one of the quilts I gave her last week.
With the addition of a stack of 9-patch blocks Laura Paulk
dropped of at my house before she headed north, I was able to lay out a green
quilt. I plan to sew it together with
white sashing as soon as I can.
In the donations received today there were also several baby
quilt tops and pillowcases. We separated
the pillowcases into children’s and adult’s so we can donate them appropriately.
I dropped off a bag of pillowcases for Case for Smiles
(including 9 from today’s donation), and a bag of walker bags for Helpertunity on my way home.
I’m not sure yet what next week’s agenda will be. I let you know in a future note.
Have a great week.
