Wednesday Daytime Meeting - October 23 - Improv Quilts

     This meeting date has moved!  Instead of our usual 3rd Wednesday of the month, the October meeting is on the 4th Wednesday due to scheduling conflicts at the venue.

    Bring your Toys for Tots donations.  DianeG will be there to collect them.  And as always, bring your Sew & Tell!

Comfort Covers Collection

 Thank you, thank you to all the donators that made the Fall Comfort Collection a success. We couldn't cover the county with comfort without all your efforts. This could not have been done without you donating supplies, sewing on buttons, pressing items, making pom-poms, designing frankenbacks, sewing franken-batting, creating art with yarn and fabric. Thank you for washing and sizing your covers. It really stream-lined the morning. If you are a "prolific" donor, feel free to ask Lenore for labels. 

This week various care homes in the county will be receiving 236 quilts, knitted and crocheted covers and hats, fidget quilts, dignity protectors, and walker bags including 10 small quilts and 10 knitted hats for babies to House of Hope. Out of the Cold is receiving 14 knit hats, and 3 full-bed size quilts for some newly-housed clients. We collected 30 kid-sized quilts for Toys for Tots. The deadline for them is Nov 15 to DianeG. Please make sure they are laundered and sized. It saves a LOT of time.

Thank you to the sorters and labelers: LeslieD, Becky S, IrisM, MargaretM.

Thank you to the drivers for taking our donations to their new homes: JillW, MargaretM, IrisM, BeckyS, KarenP, DianeG, DebbieB, LeslieD, and LindaU

And of course, a huge thank you to LenoreC who keeps us organized, dedicated, and on task making all these covers to cover Centre County with love.

Mark your calendars: next year the dates will be April 1 (not a joke!) and October 7.
