It was fun for me, meeting members that I only see 4 times a year at meetings (I'm south for the rest), and chatting with friends made at the community quilts get-togethers.
I was thanked for my donation of 5 quilts that I had made over the winter, and the 3 that I quilted this month as well.
I brought 2 more home to quilt, and plan on attending the next get-together on the 17th.
Our block of the month program is having another summer challenge of a simple block, made from scraps.
Last summer over 600 were made and many have been finished into quilts.
We are hoping to better our numbers this summer, although I think the community quilts chairpersons are becoming overwhelmed!
I love community service programs like this! I am sure the leaders can get overwhelmed though.
