Good Cheer quilts April 2022

Well, blogger has a mind of its own today and will not accept the rotated version of two quilts, so you're seeing them sideways. Oh, well...

One member turned in a bag full of toiletry items - thanks! Two guild members turned in quilts - thank you very much. And 7 members turned in pillow cases - thanks to you too. If you still have a pillow case kit at home, please try to bring it to the May meeting. We'll have a lot of pillow case kits at the next meeting for those of you who'd like to make some.

The 5 members of the Good Cheer committee made 3 quilts from misc blocks and tops given to us by White Elephant. Many thanks to them for the ongoing supply of fun things to turn into cute quilts. We also made 6 quilts from scratch bringing the April total to 11. 5 women + 4 weeks = 9 quilts. 

Good Cheer Quilts march 2022

Altogether in March we made a grand total of 9 quilts and 26 pillowcases. We also handed out 17 pillowcase kits at the March meeting. Thanks to everybody who took one. We'd appreciate getting those back in April since they take only a half hour or so. We also gave out a few quilt kits but don't keep track of those until they're returned.

All these items are donated to Interfaith in Escondido. When someone in their program gets into an apartment or home of their own, they can choose quilts and pillowcases from the ones we (and possibly other organizations) donate. Since we don't turn normally turn in near enough pillowcases to equal the quantity of quilts, we turned our focus to those this month.

Flannel pillowcases.

Cotton pillowcases.

The next 4 quilts were White Elephant donations of partial blocks 

that the Good Cheer ladies salvaged with a little creativity and made into great quilts! 

Good Cheer Quilts February 2022

This month we received1 quilt and 1 pillowcase from Terry Gillette, 2 pillowcases from Dani Donnachie, and 1 pillowcase from Charlotte Huff. Thanks, ladies! 

The 5 women of the Good Cheer committee made 12 quilts, many of them from partially made blocks/quilts donated to us from White Elephant. We love the challenge of figuring out something good to do with abandoned projects.

Don't forget that we have a variety of Good Cheer quilt kits at our table. No time limit to get them done and everything but batting is in the bag. The need is endless and ongoing, and it's a very low cost way for you to make a difference for someone in the community. Stop by and pick one up at the march meeting.

Happy quilting - Claire, Sandy, Linda, Sue & Leslie
