Several people loved Ellen's veterans quilt and asked for the pattern. You can get the pattern from GE Quilt Design. The pattern is called Elvira and is available for digital download.
Also, Becky mentioned in the earlier post that we will be collecting goods for WHEAT. Cathy did say that they prefer goods over money at this time. Here's the list that we usually work from. They will take anything from the list but the items in red bold are the ones that she specifically mentioned. They are very focused on providing protein rich foods at the moment. They have a pretty steady supply of beans and rice.....but they will accept anything from the list.
WHEAT Needs:
- Cereal, oatmeal, pancake mix w/syrup, sugar free also needed
