OPPORTUNITY FOR TEACHERS AND THOSE WORKING WITH STUDENTS

I owe a big "thank you" to Donna Morton of the Manchester Elementary School in Windham for putting together this flyer to encourage teachers to include Project Linus blankets in their school's programs.  For 10 years now, Donna's fourth grade class has been making 2 quilts each year.  The students get very involved and each have their own story to tell. 

This year, we have a separate category for students in the Studio Sale/Quilt Show on October 19.  It would be wonderful to have students and their programs represented.  I encourage you to contact either Donna or I for ideas.  I look forward to seeing you there.

STUDIO SALE/QUILT SHOW

It's 5 months until our semi-annual Studio Sale/Quilt Show.

Date is Saturday, October 19 at St. Maximilian Kolbe Church in Scarborough.

This year we'll be having demonstrations, an ongoing Blanket Day for you to bring your sewing machine and project, our studio sale and 3 categories for Project Linus blankets in the quilt show - 1. general blankets, 2. the Mystery Quilts and 3. students.  We'll also have a silent auction of donated items.

Also, bring your blankets to donate and we'll give you 3 fat quarters as a gift - as long as the supply lasts.

I'm going to invite representatives from the organizations that receive our blankets to come and meet with us. 

I'm well into the planning process.  If you have any suggestions, please give me a call at 284-5606.  I'm always looking for great ideas to make the day more interesting.

I'm looking for help with:


 Items for the sale, including fabric, kits, books, wool or maybe a machine or 2


 Items for the silent auction.  We already have several table runners and are expecting a hooked and braided rug.


 Hands to set up, take down and pack up and sales help for the day.  We'll need quite a few.


 Anyone have something that they'd like to demonstrate?


 Need help with the lunch café.  I have someone but she'll need assistance.  Looks like
 corn chowder and American chop suey and hot dogs this year.


 Someone to take photographs of what's happening.

 AND QUILTS, BLANKETS AND MORE. . .   


To be continued. . .
 

OUR 2013 MYSTERY QUILT

I'm curious how folks are doing with the Mystery Quilt that comes emailed to you each month. 

There are quite a few of you who are working on this for our Studio Sale/Quilt Show in October. 

It's not too late to catch up if you'd like to start.  Just email me and I'll get you signed up.

Can't wait until we see them all at the show.   It will be great fun.

MYSTERY QUILT STARTING JANUARY 14

Just a reminder - if you would like to participate in the monthly mystery quilt starting on January 14, there still is time. 

Just email me back and I'll add you to the list. 

Each month, you'll receive an email on the second Monday from
      linusmystery2013@gmail.com .   Heather Harnden has graciously
      volunteered to handle this.

I've seen the finished product and it's wonderful.    I'm planning on having a separate section at the quilt show in October for these quilts.

The more the merrier - please let me know.

Quilt & Blanket Show April 30, 2011

I met with Mrs. Morton's fourth grade class at

Manchester School in Windham on May 24.  They

were the second and third place winners in the

student category.  Each was presented a certificate

and a bookmark with a picture of the quilts.

Great job!  Thanks so much for helping make

two children happy.
