April Quilt Guild Activities

Thursday April 1 - There will not be quilting as we can't get the church since it is so close to Easter.
Thursday April 8 and April 15 We will be working on the Opportunity Quilt for the July 4 quilt show.  Bring your machines if you can and scraps of batting 3 1/2" X 7 1/2" up to 7 1/2" X 15 1/2".  Also, we will be using cream colored thread.  The fabric has already been purchased.

A Quilters Swap & Shop

I've had a request for this & thought it was a really good idea. So I've added a 2nd page to our blog. Look for the tab at the top. It's like a quilters swap & shop for buying, selling, borrowing, gifting or trading quilt & craft related items your looking for or getting rid of.. To add something to the list you need to email a pictures if possible & or a description. You write up the ad & email it to Doris, myself or to the guild email address sagebrushqg@gmail.com  & we will get it added. If anyone is interested or has that item,  they need to look up that persons email or phone # on the guild roster & contact them. Personal emails or numbers will not be put on the blog, just names. So let the fun begin!!   Happy Quilting, Teresa

Service Project , Operation Pillowcase

At the last Saturday all day we talked about making & sending pillowcases to our service men & women in Afghanistan. There is a blog set up by a lady (Debra) in Texas who is coordinating the project. So far 250 pillowcases have been sent. We are working on the next unit of 500 pillowcases to be sent. So if you would like to help, it only takes a yd. of fabric & a few minutes of your time to make one. We are making standard sized pillowcases in medium & dark colors. Mostly for men but a few women in each unit to. I will be collecting & mailing them from our area. Melanie P. has already made 8!! And I made 18 so I will be getting them sent off next week. A large flat rate priority box will hold up to 30. I hoping to get a few more boxes in the mail by April 1st or so. Here are some links to a few pillowcase patterns online & also the blog link to Operation Pillowcase with lots of pictures. You can also contact me for more info. TIA Teresa
