More on WHEAT and Ellen's quilt pattern

It was so great to get together yesterday! I'm already looking forward to getting together next month. I have 2 additional notes for you today.


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
  • 1 lb bags of dried beans, rice or noodles. They can break down very large bags if you want to buy in bulk
  • Small jars (16ox) of peanut butter and jelly
  • Spaghetti sauce and pasta
  • Canned soups or mixes
  • Canned meats: tuna, chicken, potted meat, sardines
  • Canned vegetables
  • Canned fruit, including low sugar and sugar free
  • Canned beans, any kind
  • Coffee and tea
  • One-dish meals - Brunswick stew, hamburger helper, etc
  • Boxes of mac and cheese
  • Pouches of dried milk
  • Hygiene products: soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste, bandaids, razors, wash cloths, hand towels, combs, deodorant
  • MONEY to buy perishable foods
  • Gift cards to grocery stores
The also like to get household items such as:
  • Bleach spray
