Tips on Handprint Quilt

Hello Guild Members,

My church has asked me to make a handprint quilt for a raffle item at our upcoming Fall Fest! They want all the Sunday School kids to stamp their hands on a square and then have an adult write their name on the block. I’m thinking I’ll just use simple sashing around the blocks.

Does anyone have any tips on what kind of fabric or paint markers I should use? Any tips for keeping this project as mess-free as possible?

 

Thanks for the advice!

Beads of Courage bead bag classes!!!

We have three upcoming classes for making these wonderful little bags.  Bring your sewing machine and white thread!!

Saturday August 17 – Talahi Community Center 10 am – 1 pm

Friday August 23 – Lake Mayer 10 am – 1 pm

Friday August 30 – Lake Mayer  10 am – 1 pm

We’ll show exactly how they need to be made and hope have plenty of extra kits available for you to take home and complete.  Memorial Hospital Children’s Cancer Center folks are quite delighted that we are taking on this project for the kids.  Jan and I will be meeting with them tomorrow to get an idea how many they think they may need each month.

Please contact Jan or myself to let us know which day(s) you can come.  We want to make certain we have enough supplies at each class.  Don’t forget your sewing machine and white thread.

We look forward to having a large turn-out for this very worthy endeavor.

Many thanks,  Lanette
