Christmas Breakfast

Hi Everyone,

This Saturday is our Christmas Breakfast so make sure you come hungry! Breakfast will be in lieu of a program. Don’t forget to bring your President’s Challenge project with you. This is the big reveal! We will still have Show Tell. Yearly dues of $30 are payable in January. And if you signed up for the retreat, your bill needs to be paid in full by the end of Saturday’s meeting.

Below is a copy of the breakfast sign-up sheet, in case you forgot what you’re bringing. If you are coming and have not signed up, email me and I can let you know some items we may still need.

See you Saturday!  Kim

 

 

Project Linus Mystery Quilt Challenge

Quite a few people signed up for the Project Linus Mystery Quilt Challenge this year! Thank you all for your support- all of the contributions directly benefit Savannah’s chapter.

If you’ve completed the Mystery Quilt Challenge pattern (even if you haven’t had it quilted), can you bring it to Saturday’s Show and Tell? I’d like to get a picture of everyone’s work!

Whether you choose to donate your Mystery Challenge quilt, give it to a friend, or keep it for yourself, thanks for participating in this year’s Challenge! Keep an eye out for the upcoming national contest, when “Blanketeers” all over the country vote on their favorite project!

Charities that need your sewing!

Days For Girls

One of my very favorite charities, Days For Girls creates menstrual kits for girls in developing nations.  Composed of a reusable cloth pad, a small hotel-sized bar of soap, and a plastic baggies, these kits allow girls to wash their own menstrual supplies with minimal water—an essential step to returning to school rather than missing those days each month during their cycle.

Patterns for the reusable pads are provided, and a list of needs is on their site.  Days For Gils also accepts donations.

DAYS FOR GIRLS

Capes For Kids

This organization provides smiles for children living in shelters or temporary housing.  These kids often leave many or most of their possessions behind, and have few toys to lessen the anxiety and fear that come from uncertain housing.  Capes For Kids gives us a chance to use small amounts of fabric to provide a little joy and a moment of safety.

Pretty Pockets

Women recovering from surgery related to breast cancer often need to wear drains for days or weeks as their bodies heal.  Pretty Pockets provides a soft, joyful solution to protect delicate skin and bring a little bright spot to a challenging health event.

PRETTY POCKETS

Women and girls around the globe living in poverty may have little margin to afford clothing for themselves—often, the prioroty is on providing for their family or keeping safe.  Dress A Girl partners with relief organizations to meet thier goal: that eery woman. and girl around the world have at least one dress of her own.

Operation First Response

When soldiers on the front lines arrive at a Combat Support Hospital (called a CASH—think MASH, like the TV show from the 70s), they may have left their personal items behind and arrive with no clothing, hygienic supplies, or comfort items.  Operation First Response provides backpacks for these soldiers with basic supplies and comfort from people who care.
