Thanks to everyone who participated (or just shopped) at our Yard Sale last weekend! Our fabric scraps, half-completed projects and a whole lot of other things went to new homes. It was such fun, and we had a lot of interest from shoppers about the guild. We anticipate seeing a few new faces in coming months.
Mark your calendars for our June 25 meeting!
We’ll be sewing zipper pouches to donate to two local organizations: Faces of Hope Victim Center and Community Outreach Behavioral Services (COBS). We’re asking you to help make the pouches following this simple tutorial by Noodelhead (or if you have an equally simple pouch pattern, you’re welcome to make that), and then we’ll fill the pouches with personal care items, donated by local businesses. The Noodlehead medium pouch (check here for cutting info) is a versatile size and perfect for our inserts.
BMQ is supplying zippers and interfacing — and we need you to bring your fabric and your quilty selves to help make it all come together. Our goal is to make 30-40 pouches in this initial effort. If members are interested in continuing the project, we can add it to our ongoing community giving activities.
