THERE ARE NONE SO BLESSED AS THOSE WHO GIVE

A special thank you to all the women who come to the Attic Window Quilt Shop and donate their time, money, fabric and batting to make these lovely quilts. The women of Quilt For Wheels and Cancer Kids donated over 90 quilts this year. The Michigan Veteran’s Administration and Mary Free Bed Hospital will receive these amazing quilts. Above is the quilt that Yvonne is making. Some wonderful person donated these beautiful batik fabrics.

This quilt will soon be ready for donation. Some wonderful person donated all these beautiful fabrics!


Look at the trunk of Barb David’s car! She will be distributing these quilts this week to some very lucky people. Anyone can join the group, either by coming to the monthly meeting (see calendar for dates and times) and sewing, or by donating fabrics, batting, or money. The back of each quilt bears a seal with the Quilt For Wheels or Quilts For Kids on it.

We have a new interactive calendar on the sidebar. Some people have said they cannot see everything. If you place your mouse over the calendar you can scroll down. I have a wireless mouse so I hope this works with any kind of mouse. When you see the “more details” link, click on that and you can get more information about that class. Please let me know how you like this calendar and if you have any problems. If there are no complaints or problems I will eliminate the other calendar next week.

The Lucky Ducks has a great way to use up those scraps.

Until next time,
Caroll

YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO MAKE THESE GIFTS

I’ve been busy making things for Christmas and thought you might like to make some too. There is still time! This cute gingerbread man with a bite taken out of him is by Elsie Marley. I have him hanging on my tree but he’d be cute on a package too.

These aprons were fun and easy to make and the pattern can be found at Phyllis Dobbs.

Can’t have too many candy canes. These are easy to make. I didn’t dip them in Stiffy as suggested on Lavieen Rosie’s site, because I thought they were cute as is. They will look nice on the tree on tied to a package.


I made scads of pillowcases for the young kids. You can find this easy and fast way of sewing them at The Quilting Season. You’ll have them done in no time.

All quilters and lovers of fabric should stop over at Quilt Hollow and read her letter to Santa. I sure could relate!

Until next time,
Caroll
