Calling all sewers

I'd like to extend an invitation to any and all of you who would like to sew with us this week. On Wednesday, March 4th from 1-5pm and Thursday, March 5th from 10am-4pm we will be sewing quilts for the children at the Ronald McDonald House in St. Petersburg. We will make crib/lap quilt sizes for babies through 3 year olds.

Bring all of your out-of-date-don't-know-why-I-bought-that-color cotton fabrics you would like to donate and we will cut them into strips and squares and sew them into colorful quilts for the kids. Don't feel pressured to bring fabric, as we will also have plenty of fabrics ready to sew. If you have batting you would like to donate, we'll be happy to put that to good use. Let's see how many quilts we can make for these deserving toddlers.

Snacks will be provided and I'll put the coffee pot on, too. Bring a bag lunch or we'll order out on Thursday. If you can sew a straight line, you can help!!!

What should you bring with you?
1. your favorite scissors
2. your sewing machine
3. any threads you want to use up
4. sewing supplies you can't live without
5. a cheerful heart

Please call the shop @ 474-3893 so we know how many to count on. I can't wait to see how many quilts we can put together in 2 days. See you Wednesday and Thursday!!

The Quilt Fairy,
Debbie
