Many hands tying

A 4 hour Quilt.

Peggy is our tornado when it comes to making a quilt in one afternoon. That’s her goal when we have our get together’s at the Hope Community. This month we all pitched in to help her make and give a quilt for Christmas. She bribed us with her homemade goodies. :)

Finished--good job.

Some of the treasures you’ll find …

Please read and forward to your artsy-crafty friends.
 
We have black lace trim and other fabric that’s just perfect for crafting your award winning Halloween costume — especially if you want to go as Cleopatra.

Courthouse Steps Quilt Block

If you don’t have time to sew a whole quilt, but would still like to contribute something, the Courthouse Steps block is a great place to start! Sew one, two, or even a dozen of the Courthouse Steps blocks, and send them to us. When we have enough blocks for one blanket/quilt, we’ll put them together and do the rest of the work. [...]

Call to clean out the closet.

We had a successful work day today at the Goodwill location. We packed donations that had come in for the yard sale, to be moved to Peggy Allen’s for the Oct 8th sale. Lots of craft items, bead trays, quilting magazines, counted cross stitch pattern books, a few zippers, elastic and much more. This is a call out to all you that craft, sew, crochet, knit and quilt to donate your left overs or won’t ever get to in a million years to the 2nd Sew for Hope yard sale. The sale is coming up on Oct 8th so we need your donations soon. You may drop them off the Goodwill location at Old Bainbridge and Tharpe St. This is the only Goodwill location that will accept donations for Sew for Hope. The location and time of sale is listed somewhere here on the sight, I wouldn’t repeat. There is a work day planned to get ready for the sale, but am not clear on the date & time at this writing. Will post that when I know for sure when it is. We could use help for that also. If anyone has had a yard sale, you know there’s lots to do to get ready.

Basketweave Blanket

This pattern can be used for a variety of items, and would fit perfectly for anything that needs to be approximately square. Blankets, dishcloths, tablecloths, etc. – it all depends on how long you make the foundation chain.
