Sending two blocks your way in the morning.

TQS has got 79,157 members at the moment. Let's say that 10% read messages in the Forum. That would be 7,916. Of those only 10% decide to make one block each (cutting out four equal squares and sewing three straight seams). There would be 790 blocks sent on their way. Mmmmhhhh........ I have made a couple of blocks tonight in less than 15 minutes, and will post them on Monday (together with some long overdue mail to Rosemary).

Phew...... that's enough maths for me..... I'm off to bed.......

I'd be happy to send you some.In a week or so? Still finishing up some graduation gifts. Julie

The entire story has been posted on my blog over the past month, but I am requesting four patch blocks made from 6 -1/2 inch patches. We are going to use them for a DISAPPEARING FOUR PATCH block ( pattern on my blog.) I got involved in this project because I was appalled at the lack of comfort these children have. I donate to other charities but I am a firm believer in .... CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME.

REQUEST for CHARITY BLOCKS


As you all know I have been working on charity quilts this last month. These quilts are destine for Christmas presents for the children who are sheltered at Whaley Children Center in Flint MI. For various reasons these children live at the center until they age out of the system at age of 18 years. They go to school, live in group units, they learn daily living skills. The have very little in comfort or personal items. We are planning to give each child a quilt as they currently have a basic blanket and sheet set. From what our liaison has seen their are no quilts or comforters. There are 45 children from the ages of 10 to 17 living in the center.

For July we are going to have a quilting day to work on quilts. I am hoping my listeners/ blog readers will be willing to send me one FOUR patch blocks. I think it would be nice we could add some blocks from all across the country. If you are willing please mail the blocks to:

NONNIE PALMER
c/o Elaine Quilty Shop
P.O. BOX 194
HADLEY, MI 48446

Our patches are 6-1/2 inches sewn into a four patch pattern.
Any style fabric. We mix and match the blocks we have and match them for a pleasing effect. We take everything…. (I got some great fabric at JoAnn Fabric with my coupon last week, Keepsake Collections have improved greatly.) We are then taking the FOUR PATCHES and using them in the DISAPPEARING FOUR PATCH BLOCK. ( See directions/ pattern…… next / previous post. JUNE, 2011 archive.)

Postage should be less than a dollar for standard manilla envelope… but that is a guess on my part as I have not tried to mail one… YET!

THANK YOU for your considerations.
