A NOTE FROM THE SEWING GROUP
HELP! Help! Our Sewing Group has received a challenge from our local Salvation Army. They are asking us to make a large number of quilts {80 – 100} for their Fall Supper in mid Sept. So, we will need lots of help.
You do not need to sew as we have many other jobs that need doing.
{1} We need people to measure, and mark the size, of our existing quilt tops. We have quite a number.
{2} Backs need to be made for the above. We have material for that. Please press the seams.
{3} To assemble the quilts we need people to put the layers together & we tie the quilts together. Someone then needs to complete the quilt by sewing around the edges.
{4} We do have squares (various sizes) that need to be laid out in patterns & then sewn together. The church tables work well for that. We also have sewing machines at the church so it can be done there or at home.
{5} We also have material that needs to be cut – we have cutting boards & cutters at the church- for making quilt tops.
I am open to suggestions as to how we can get this project done. We could get together one extra day a week, a full day on Wednesdays or other suggestions you may have. Please let me know. Alice @ 306-773-6759 or the church. Thanks!
