Another month, another batch of charity quilts. There were 4 quilts from guild members, 7 from the Good Cheer committee, and 7 from Maggie Morales, no longer a guild member.
This was a good month for pillowcases with 13 from guild members and 10 from Maggie Morales.
Apparently we don't accomplish a ton of quilts in the winter. 😑 Must work on that for next year.
We made a few quilts the last 2 months of the year. And that's it for 2022. Hope 2023 is wonderful for all of us. And that we make a lot of quilts!
A guild member was kind enough to entrust us with her Grandma's hand pieced blocks - 220 of them! We sorted them by color, took piles of blocks home, and came back with 6 beautiful quilts. All the quilts below are made with the exact same blocks, just arranged differently. It was so fun to show them all at once at the guild meeting.
We had an excellent return of pillow case kits this month - 31 total. Makers were Maggie Morales, Jill Conger, Rita McFayden, and the Good Cheer ladies. Those same four were the makers of the 19 quilts that were turned in. Thanks everyone - it's wonderful to see the big pile of things for Interfaith.
Our guild meetings started back up this month and several members turned in quilts and pillow cases.
Members who made pillow cases include Rita McFayden, Debra Dubbs and Toni Collins. Members who brought quilts include Jenn Lutes, Karen Maher, Charlotte Huff, and Escondido South, who made 16. Thanks to everyone who made items - they will all go to good use!
Many quilt kits were taken so we're expecting a good return in October. We have kits for all levels of quilting - you don't have to be a whiz-bang expert to make a quilt a kid will love. Everything but the batting is in the quilt kits, and the pillow case kits are complete and easy to make. Stop by the Good Cheer table at the next meeting!
