Hope all of you will find time to make pillowcases. Before all this virus stuff started I made a delivery of 125 pillowcases to Memorial Hospital.
So now Cindy and I don’t have any finished pillowcases and about 25 kits available.
Thanks for all your hard work and fabric donations!

Hello retreat friends. The bargello quilted tablecloth was fun to make. Here’s the finished quilt. Thanks again for allowing me to be a part of this awesome group. Glenda
Joann’s Makes Kits for Masks and Gowns
Go Joanns! Click on the link and you can view the news story about how Joanns is helping by making kits for gowns and masks. They have a drive up service if you want to pick up kits. They are collecting finished masks and gowns and distributing them to the healthcare places in need.
One thing I noticed it that they used fusible interfacing in their masks to add another layer of protection. They have a video on making masks on this link too. It seems that the gowns may be a huge need too.
Great news about the distributing them to those in need. It isn’t easy to connect with people at the healthcare facilities as they are busy now.

I spoke to the Human Resources dept. at Memorial today. They are not accepting any mask donations at this time. I have not heard back from Candler yet.
I picked up this almost brand new 22 inch handquilter’s hoop at a silent auction recently for only $60. I bought it with the Guild members in mind. I am not a hand quilter. I only want to pass it along for the amount I paid. I did so with the thought that someone in the Guild who hand quilts would love to have such a wonderfully engineered quilt hoop. I will attach info about it. It seems to have originally sold new for $300. See pics of it as I get them posted. The pic is of one I found from an old Craig’s list ad. I have pics on my phone, but not yet uploaded.
I don’t think we want to use our website to sell things, I am only offering this a something I found, bought and thought someone would love to have it.
