Elgin Quilters' Quilting Bee

Elgin Quilters!

May I remind you to come in to my shop March 5 in the afternoon for our 'Fond Farewell' Quilting Bee!

We will be adding posts and sashing to the 12 1/2" blocks already donated, making a few more tops to prepare for quilting. And we will work on quilts in the frames!

What is a Fond Farewell Quilt?

A Fond Farewell Quilt is given to a Home for the Aged to keep and re-use. When a recently deceased resident leaves their room and the building, they are usually in a black bag on a stretcher. A bit shocking, no doubt.

We hope that covering the recently departed in a Fond Farewell Quilt can give comfort to neighbours and friends as they see the stretcher go down the hall and out of the building.

We also hope this helps other residents to be able to say a Fond Farewell to their friend.

Scarves for Friends Workshop

Postponed to February 9th.

Usually on the first Wednesday afternoon and evening of each month is a "Workshop" day; but this month there is a huge:

SNOW SQUALL WARNING!!!

And really, who wants to drive in that?!?!

Choose afternoon or evening times:

2pm to 4pm or

6:30pm to 8:30pm.

Only $20 plus materials for this Workshop. Sewing machine required.

You will come away with a practical pattern to repeat the scarf again and again.

Isn't it nicer to say Scarves for Friends than Cancer Hat?

Sign up ASAP! Classes are filling quickly!

I like this hat in crazy wild 100% cotton prints.

Only about a half of a metre of fabric is necessary and a bit of elastic.
