You’re invited…Make a Difference Day

Ladies

“Make a Difference Day” is Saturday, Oct. 24 and we will be making Quilts of Valor again this year.  Last year we sent off 6 quilts to Quilts of Valor.

We will meet at the First Presbyterian Church on Ivy at 9am on Sat. Oct. 24.  We will quilt until we get done?!?!?!?! with the blocks we have and make as many quilts as we can.

Bring your sewing machines and supplies.  We will need some sashing and border material so check your stash for red, white, and blues or ones that might be appropriate for a QOV quilt.

AND if you have any appropriate yardage that could be used for backs for these quilts – please bring if you would like to donate.

Bring a sack lunch, also.

Not all Basin Piecemakers have emails so if you see someone that is a member of our guild, ask her if she received this email otherwise let her know this information.  We need many hands!!!! to sew.

If you have any questions, please call me.

 

THANKS ahead of time for your participation in this worthwhile event!!!

Quilt Festival

Virginia and I arrived last night in Houston.   We thought you’d like to see a couple of our pictures. 

We were stuck in the snow in Wyoming so changed our route and went thru Colorado, New Mexico and Upper Texas.  Went right by lots of cotton fields.  Stopped and took pictures.  Also a dog almost got me, but that’s another story.
