Hello fellow quilters! We will be at Lake Mayer tomorrow from 10 til 2 cutting new fabric for kits, and making pillowcases. Lanette and Jan will be there to teach how to make bags for Beads of courage too! It’s a lot of fun. Our dates in September are the 6th, the 13th, and the 20th. Hope you can join us. And thank you for all of your help with making pillowcases and donating money or fabric. Debbie and Frances

Hello, lovely quilters! The wonderful staff at Lake Mayer has made the event room available to us for four Fridays in August. We will be able to cut fabric, make up kits, sew pillowcases, beads of courage bags or whatever you choose. The dates are Aug 2, 9, 23, and 30 from 10:00 til 2:00. Bring your cutting tools and mat, your machine and your lunch. Water and snacks are supplied. And, remember, we always have an endless need for more fabric as you have made 946 pillowcases since January!!! Hope to see you there. Debbie and Frances

Hi, happy quilters! I hope you are having a lovely weekend. Due to special events, our dates at Lake Mayer are on Thursdays: July 11, and July 25. Both are 9-11 a.m. (also earlier and shorter times). Hope you can be there. We made lots of new kits with some new and donated fabrics. Pick one up at the guild meeting. Thank you, Debbie and Frances

Hi, All. We are able to use the building at Lake Mayer on June 7th and the 28th for sewing pillowcases. We have cut all the fabric that was donated by guild members, Starlandia, and some that we were able to buy. We have kits ready for the meeting, but have no more fabric to cut. If you have any fabric you would be able to donate, we are in dire need in order to keep going. There have been many donations and many pillowcases made and we are so grateful. Happy sewing. Debbie

Unfortunately we are unable to use the building at Lake Mayer this Friday, the 17th. So we need to cancel our pillowcase sewing. We hope to see you next Friday, the 24th. I hope this doesn’t inconvenience anyone. Debbie

There was a lot of amazing work on pillowcases during April. We will meet at Lake Mayer to cut fabric to make up kits, or to sew pillowcases on the Fridays of May 17, 24, and 31st. The time is 10:00 to 2:00 so you can bring a lunch. Also, bring your machine if you are sewing.

We are always in need of fabric suitable for pillowcases (no glitter, please). If you have any to donate, please bring it to the guild meeting on May 11.

Also, if anyone is willing to help with washing, ironing, tagging and packing  pillowcases, please let Frances or Debbie know at the meeting.

Thank you for all that you are doing for the children at Children’s Hospital
