YOU CAN HELP

Meeko, my sewing companion
Julie, who leads the Doll Bee at the Attic Window Quilt Shop, sent me a note recently.  I posted the above picture of her cat to get your attention because what she said is helpful during these difficult times.  This is what she wrote:

Hi Carol,  I wrote to Chris a bit ago about some ideas for her Facebook page and she suggested they would be good for the blog too....

I’m sure you have heard that Spectrum Health is accepting donations of homemade PPE masks.  I had emailed this info to Chris as I think people would want to buy fabrics (especially batiks) for face masks and isolation gowns.  They shouldn’t use the cheap stuff from the cheap stores, because it’s not woven tightly enough.  I asked her if I could buy some batik over the phone and then swing by to pick it up. She said yes.  

So I thought others might want to do the same....and you might want to know this info to post about it. Below are some helpful links. 

Spectrum’s donation guidelines. Link to mask video tutorial is there.

FYI, Jalie.com is also giving away March 28 and 29 only 2 days) a scrub PDF pattern:   

Thank you Julie.  This is so helpful.  And thanks for reminding us that Chris will be in the Attic Window Quilt Shop daily (except Sunday) from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and will take orders.

ATTENTION:  As requested by the Michigan Governor, the Attic Window Quilt Shop will be closed until further notice.  Chris, will be at the shop each day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., so if you have any questions feel free to call and talk to her, or email her at BrownAttic@aol.com
