Veterans Quilt News


 Here's the latest stack of quilts before they were delivered to out VA Hospital contact. That's 31 quilts!!

Our total for the year is 78. You all have done amazing work creating all of these quilts.


Here are a couple of reminders:

- I (Vicki) will not be at the August meeting to take tops or finished quilts. One of the other quilters might be able to take tops so you can bring them. If there's no one to quilt them just hold them until September. I do not know when I will be quilting again (not before October) but I'll put them in the closet.

- Optimal size for the quilts is 48" x 60". We can accept an inch or 2 smaller and a inch or so bigger, but the backing and batting is precut so we do not have a ton of flexibility.

- If you want to quilt your own quilt I can provide you with backing and batting. All you have to do is ask. I'll even do my best to dye a matching backing for you.

- Please do not use any fragrance when you wash the fabrics or quilts. I'm is very allergic. The quilts and the tops might stay in my house for a couple of months and I just can't have fragrance in my house for that long. I can't quilt tops that have fragrance in them at all.
