Club Notes - March 5, 2025

There were 14 of us at the rec center today.  We were lucky in that the downpour of rain finished before 12:30 and the rest of the afternoon had clear skies.  After our last meeting Mic delivered 58 stuffed toys to the Villages Hospital and another 30 to VITAS.  Both organizations were very appreciative.

Show and Tell:

Ceal Pedersen brought the latest stuffed toys that were handed to her for face painting.

Bev Minnerly showed a pillowcase she made and 2 “flat” cats needing stuffing.

Ernestine Vawter showed some pillowcases she made for children in her family.

The 2nd one has football on one side and baseball on the other.

Ellen Hein showed a bunch of quilts that she finished the binding on and several Veteran’s Hospice quilts

The following 3 quilt tops were made by Lorraine Manz

 

I made the following 4 from panels:

Anne handed these 2 in:

Ellen made these 2 large quilts.

Ellen also turned in 1 finished Hospice Veteran's quilt 

and 4 that need to be quilted.

After show and tell Mic and Anne got to work putting together kits for making  walker bags.  I gave a demonstration of how to make a walker bag, using the Helpertunity pattern.

Last Saturday, Allamanda had several tables at the Quilter’s Closet sale.  I saw a couple of you shopping there.  Any fabric that didn’t sell was given to me at the end.   This afternoon I brought all of that to  our meeting for you to choose from for any charity project.  I was happy to see that the 4 bins and 1 box were reduced down to 3 bins at the end of the afternoon.

Since Freedom Point Rehab requested 20 walker bags, I am hoping to see a lot of these finished for next week.  We will bring the kits again and other fabric in case we don’t get enough.

 

See you next week.
