This is Vicki and I hope you are all dealing with the quarantine OK and getting lots of sewing done. We are doing pretty good at limiting out outing to once a week and since I hate going to the grocery store anyway, that's all fine with me! Fortunately we did not have a toilet paper or paper towel crisis at our house. Those are staples that I stockpile year round and for once I was proven prescient!
I've been thinking a lot about WHEAT and the service that they provide for our community and I believe that the next few months will put a great strain on their resources. I've been thinking about what I could do independently to raise some funds for them and I decided to rely on my fabric dyeing skills.
I have a great source for dyeable tea towels so I ordered a lot of them and will be dyeing and selling them. ALL of the proceeds will go to WHEAT. In fact, I prefer that people pay by a check made out directly to WHEAT. I'll be working on some ideas of places where I can sell them locally but I wanted to offer to my quilting buddies first.This is my first batch and there will be more!
These are really high quality towels. They are 20" x 27" and have a hanging loop in one corner. They make great gifts.
If you are interested in any of them, you can email me at vickisews at gmail dot com and we can arrange for you to porch pickup at my house and leave a check to WHEAT. Indicate which you want by referring to the # in the lower right corner of the photo.
There are 2 types, screen printed and shibori. The screen printed ones are 2 for $25 and the shibori ones are $15 each. You are welcome to share this post with anyone who might be interested but I will not be shipping so keep it local. They are for porch pickup only so please share locally. If there are specific designs or colors that you might like let me know. There are lots more possibilities!
Here's what's left: 2, 6, 7, 8 10. Email me any special requests. There are more coming!
Screen Printed Designs - 2 for $25
Shibori Designs - $15 each
I would love a set of 2 shibori towels. Will take whatever ones you have handy- love them all! Let me know when I can pick up! Thanks, Vicki!
