Hi quilting friends,

We will be meeting next Wednesday, March 6, 2024, in our area at KMVT from 10:00 AM until 3:30 PM. We will be working at our usual jobs creating new quilts.

There are some quilts that can be bound remaining from our tying times. We can always use help in this department.

We have scheduled a special tying day on Saturday, March 16, 2024, from 9:30 AM until noon in the Community Room. We invite you to join us in tying along with other friends.

At Christmas time last year, we were able to contribute to an ongoing project some ladies have completed for several years. They buy 18 inch dolls and baby dolls for CASA to give to their foster kids. We made and contributed the wardrobes for those dolls. It will be a yearlong project that we would like you to help us with. We have patterns, dolls to try the clothes on, and fabric…oh yes, we have fabric! If you could help. with this project, let us know and we will get you the materials.

Hi quilting friends,

What a great tying time we had thanks to all of you. We tied 27 quilts in two days. Most of the quilts were large ones as those are what we are getting requests for from our folks. We are very happy that we had such a successful event.

We will be meeting this coming Monday on President’s Day, February 19, 2024 in our area at KMVT from 10:00 AM until 3:30 PM. We will be working at our usual jobs creating another edition of our beautiful quilts. If you can cut, we have lots of scraps to be turned into usable squares.

Because we tied so many quilts, we have a large number to bind. You can find those quilts near the front door. Most are ready to bind having been nicely trimmed for you. There is a finished quilt corner to look at if this is your first time to bind. We bind from the back rather than the front.

If you would like to make some tops, here are the sizes we need:
infants, youth, and bunk. We are covered for the rest of the quilt sizes at this time.

There are boxes of fat quarters and precuts that you can choose from to make a quilt top. We can help you find them. If you would rather make a top that is ready to piece with colors chosen and pieces cut, we have those, too. Just ask to look at the quilt kits.

We are starting our year with a supply of beautiful quilt tops to turn into usable quilts. Now we need to tie and to machine quilt. Our tying days this week will get us along the way finishing more quilts. If you can machine quilt or longarm for us, please let us know.

We have a lot of quilts to bind, and we are just about to get many more. We can use help in that department, too.

If you would like to make some tops, here are the sizes we need:
infants, youth, and bunk. We are covered for the rest of the quilt sizes at this time.

Just a note to say, we have lots of precuts to make tops with. Let us show you where they are in our stash.

We are excited to report that Tina Withers, who received a Hometown Heroes award from Modern Woodmen of America, designated us to receive the monetary award. We thank Tina for years of support for our benefit.

We received a substantial donation from the Seagrave Family Foundation. We appreciate Terry Rowe of the St. Luke’s Foundation for her part in making this happen for us. We will be able to purchase batting and larger backing for our quilts.

We also would like to thank Ceil of East End Providers for giving us 21 boxes of fabric. Ceil has always been a generous spirit who has helped us in many ways as she and her organization distributed our quilts and pillowcases to the east end folks.

Just a note to say that we have lots of precut blocks you could use for making a simple quilt. Come and check out what we have.

Here is one note with this additional handwritten entry from Terry Rowe who is the Development Officer for St. Luke’s Magic Valley Health Foundation. I love all of you, your work and your caring, generous spirit… Terry. That should make us all proud of what we do for our community.
Way to sew, quilters!

Hi quilting friends,

We have nearly made it through another year. We have good news to report to you about our work this year. We made more quilts this year than we did last year. That is amazing.

Our totals were: 677 quilts, 563 pillowcases, 276 laundry bags, and 1639 cuddle cloths. We also made table runners and wall hangings as well as clothes for ten dolls for CASA to give to some of their children. All in all it was a productive year!!

Our next meeting day is set for Monday, December 18, 2023, in our usual place, KMVT, in our workroom. We will have a normal workday with tying and all our other jobs. We look forward to seeing you.

We still have lots of quilts that need binding in our “Bind Me” box. You will find it on the table as you enter the basement door. Thanks to our folks who tie and those who bind the quilts, we were able to give more large quilts this time. There is always a request for larger quilts.

Hi quilting friends,

OOOPS! I got ahead of myself. Our distribution is not until December. Our next meeting day will be Monday, November 20, 2023. We will have our regular meeting day from 10:00 to 3:30 with all our regular activities. I am sorry I confused things.

We need to have all the quilts out to be bound returned by our December distribution date so they can be included in our distribution. We had a call from the Cancer Center with a need for quilts. We took all we had, 19 quilts, to them last week. If you have completed lap quilts, please bring them in.

Our orphan blocks have been sorted into sizes and colors. They are all ready for your help in choosing a color to set them. We can show you where the blocks are and help you with color selection if you would like our help.

We received a letter of thanks from the Bets for Vets event committee thanking us for our donation of a patriotic quilt for their silent auction. All letters are posted on the bulletin board in the entry area of our workroom.

We have lots of quilts that need binding in our “Bind Me” box. You will find it on the table as you enter the basement door. Thanks in advance for your help.
