Project Linus Quilt Kits: FAQs

by

Hello, Guild members!

Thank you to everyone who attended the Quilting Day on June 14! We had so much fun putting these kits together, with eight completed and many more distributed as “homework” projects.

I’ve gotten some similar questions from several quilters, so let me address a few Frequently Asked Questions:

  • “Can I quilt the top myself?”
    • Absolutely you can! That would be a wonderful help! I have a volunteer (my mom!) who is going to finish the tops on her long-arm machine, but if you want to turn in a completed quilt go right ahead!
    • Project Linus cannot provide quilt batting nor fabric for backing and binding if you want to finish the quilt yourself. I used Linus funds to purchase a lot of materials  when Joann’s went out of business, but those were all distributed to my long-arm volunteers.
    • If you want to finish the quilt yourself you do not have to return your quilt by July 12. That is the deadline for quilt tops, but you can take all the time you need if you want to finish it yourself.
  • “Can I bring you some quilt tops from my stash?”
    • I can only commit to finishing the quilt kits provided by Project Linus on Sew Days. I don’t have the resources to finish any outside quilt tops. Sorry!

And as a reminder to everyone who took home a quilt kit:

 All quilt tops must be returned by the July 12 Quilt Guild meeting. 

My mother is visiting from Missouri and she will be taking the tops home with her to finish on her long-arm.

 

And finally, just a general reminder about Project Linus blanket donations:

  • All blanket donations must be new and allergen-free (no wools, no pet dander, no perfumes or strong scents, smoke-free home)
  • Blankets must be a minimum of 36″ x 36″

Thank you all for your continued support of Project Linus!

Sending an Email to Officers

by

Hi, Quilters,

The decision was made by the board to delete the forwarder emails for the Officers and appointed Chair positions.  The forwarder emails were the ones that ended in @savannahquiltguild.com.  The reason that they will not be used in the future is that it is too easy for a scammer to access our Officers.

Starting now, be sure to send your email to the personal email addresses of the individual that you want it to go too.   A new email, info@savannahquiltguild.com has been created for those situations when you are not sure who to contact.  There is, also, a Contact Us page on the website that you can send us questions or concerns.

The Member’s List is located on the website and is updated monthly.
