Looking for an outreach project to work on? There are always kits available on our outreach table.
Our Motto: Do the part you love.
Be sure to consider our guild library when searching for a pattern. 3- and 5-Yard Quilt books are available for check-out!
On that note, in March there will most likely be an outreach workshop following the meeting. It will either be a quilt top project or a bundling workshop.
We hope to have good weather and a great turnout participating.
More details will be in the March newsletter.

It’s holiday time! Everyone is full of anticipation. I know I am, especially when we are preparing to make our December donation of quilts. How many do we have? How many will show up that day? Will we have enough to split between two charities? Will we surpass our 200-quilt mark for the year? In all the years I’ve helped with outreach, I have never been disappointed. Always amazed! The generosity and kindness of our members is incredible!
Representatives from CVIC and Human Service Zone are all set to show up and tell us about their organizations.
We look forward to seeing you at our December gathering. It is a great time to bring a potential new member. They get to see what we are all about. We invite you to join us at 9:00 AM. Tables will be all set up for tying quilts and adding batting to quilt tops and backs for members to take home to quilt. If you’ve never tied before, it’s a great time to learn the technique and also spend time chatting and getting to know other members.
Please remember to bring any completed outreach quilts, pillowcases, and tote bags to our December meeting. If you are not able to attend, please find someone else to bring in your quilt.
Any questions? Call Marilynn.

Hello Friends,
Cold and blustery days make time for our machines! Find the best in every day! We’re planning our April outreach workshop. An afternoon of sewing on a project for outreach is always productive. We’ll have all the materials ready, just bring your machine and sew!
If you have an outreach project that you are already working on, feel free to work on that. It’s always fun to sew with friends.
If you choose not to sew, we always have work to do on our incoming quilt tops, they need backing and binding cut and prepared as well as batting. Many hands make for light work. We appreciate your participation.

Outreach in 2021
The March Education Workshop is dedicated to Outreach. Here is a YouTube link for a simple, cute layer cake or scrappy 10″ square pattern. Download the free pattern and check out the great YouTube video. This 55 x 64-in. design would be a fun outreach quilt.
