Quilters by the Sea Guild News

Habitat for Humanity

QBTS guild members made Freddy's House Block quilt blocks earlier this year and completed a quilt to be donated to a Habitat for Humanity family. Millie Collier and Mildred Feuker presented the quilt to the lucky family on September 27 during Habitat's ceremony and presentation of the keys. The family was thrilled and plans to hang the quilt so it will be on display (click on photo at left to view larger image).

Guild members get a wonderful sense of satisfaction in giving of our quilting talents in this way. Thanks to all participating guild members, and thanks to Jean Roth for adding her machine-quilting skills.

Block-of-the-Month Quilt

Diane has put together the patterns for our 2010 block-of-the-month quilt. Check with her to get each month's pattern--there will be a total of 12 blocks to complete the quilt. Members are charged $1 for each monthly pattern to defray the cost of printing. If you're one of our "snowbirds" and will be gone for several months, ask Diane for advanced copies.
