So far we\u2019ve received 22 of the large Scaled Triangle blocks (wow!), and quite a stack of completed scrappy leader\/ender blocks. If you\u2019re working on the leader\/ender blocks, you can bring completed, or partially-completed chunks (pairs or half blocks) to the next meeting; you may want to exchange other partially-completed blocks to mix up fabrics. Finished leader-ender blocks should turn out 6.5\u201c but you might find yours are a little skinny. No worries, they\u2019ll all go together great!!<\/li>\n<li><b><u>Community Giving<\/u>:<\/b>\u00a0We\u2019ve already delivered 26 quilts so far this year &#8211; that\u2019s so amazing!

Warm Spring Counseling Center expressed an interest in receiving<b>\u00a0four \u201ccozy\u201d quilts\u00a0<\/b>to use in therapy offices during sessions with children clients \u2014 so if you\u2019re inclined to sew with minky or flannel, this might be the project for you.<\/li>\n<li><b><u>Drawstring backpacks &amp; zipper pouches<\/u><\/b>: This week we\u2019ve delivered more than 20 finished drawstring backpacks and 30 zipper pouches for sustainable period packs to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facesofhopevictimcenter.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Faces of Hope Victim Center<\/a>.
