Fifth Thursday Sewing for 2024
February 29 - Baby Quilts
We had 12 people in attendance for our Baby Quilt 5th Thursday Sewing in February.  Many quilts were started and taken home to be completed.  

May 23 - Fidget Quilts - ​We had a great time sewing FIDGET QUILTS together. 4 Fidget quilts were completed with several in progress.  There are a lot of fun Fidget items that Bonnie has on hand if you want to make a Fidget Quilt.  They do not have to be very large.  Just big enough to sit on your lap with textural items to "fidget" with.  They do need to be sewn on very well.

Oct 24 - Lap Quilts and/or placemats for MOW

We made 66 placemats. Great job!! This brings a total so far to 107 placemats. Our goal is 250 placemats to be able to donate to Meals of Wheels.  If everyone would make (3) more by our December meeting, we can make the goal?  Bonnie will be taking the mats to Meals on Wheels on the 13th.
