I thank everyone who participated in our Community Service efforts for 2009-2010. Although we did not produce as many quilts as previous years, we did produce bigger quilts which were distributed to St. John's Homeless Shelter, Mary's House, and to the County of Sacramento for young people who are discharged from the Foster Care System. We gave out over 135 quilts which were lovingly received. In addition, we have over 40 quilts which are almost ready to go and I am sure Karen Moore and her committee will make short work of these. Going forward our emphasis will be on adult/teen size (48” - 54” X 60” – 72”). With the economy as it is, this size is sorely needed. Every quilt guild in the county donates baby and lap quilts and it was hard to get agencies to take our donations. So the goal for the 2010-2011 year is 150 larger quilts. If you can only piece together a top, we will get them quilted. Thanks again to all of you. Please check with Karen Moore for location and dates.
