Staff Report
To all sewers, quilters and likewise, the Suffolk Quilter’s Guild is having a workshop on Saturday, Sept. 17 to make quick quilts to be sent to the Hurricane Katrina victims.
This is in response to an urgent request from Quilters Comfort America, based in Houston.
Bring machines, equipment, and any fabric you may have.
For those that have unfinished projects or small quilts, bring them and we’ll add to them to make into at least a twin-sized quilt.
Batting is most welcome, pieces or whole sizes.
These quilts will be hand-tied to make quick work of the quilt-making process.
Those that don’t sew should come anyway, as
cutters and pressers will be needed.
Bring a potluck dish to share.
Drinks will be furnished.
This event will be held at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church on North Main St. from 9:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.
Please use the Saratoga St. entrance.
For more information, please call Leila Tompert at 934-0878.
