Service Reminder!

I just wanted to remind anyone who was interested about the Society Service project! It's a fast, easy, and worthwhile project for sure. I did mine in an evening. Just 3ft by 3ft and it doesn't even have to be a pieced quilt. It can just be cheerful fabric cut 3' by 3' for the top and bottom. Whatever you like!

It can be as simple or fancy as you like. Here is one my mother-in-law, Linda, did:


So cool! And remember, you don't have to have batting or do any quilting because the ladies are going to do that on Wed night.

I know I have one more at least to look forward to in the mail soon. (Thanks Cammie you are awesome!!)

Anyone else? They are working on these Wednesday the 6th. Thanks friends!

Society Service!

Calling all society sisters!

Kahuku hospital needs our help!

They are in dire need of lap quilts for their long-term care patients. My ward has the goal to provide at least 12 of them for the hospital and I told them we would help!

No pressure if you can't, but if you can they are asking for "cheerful" fabric quilts. You don't even have to make it super complicated and fancy, but the dimensions of the top and bottom need to be 3 feet by 3 feet when the quilt is completed and that can just be as simple as a 3' x 3' piece of fabric for top and bottom.

I'm thinking about doing large squares for my top and one big piece for the bottom.

This would be a great way to
1. get your feet wet if you have never attempted quilt piecing before
2. use those scraps you have no idea what to do with
3. use your talents to help someone in need

If you have batting and want to finish the quilt that is great, but if you just want to create the top and bottom and drop that off or mail it to me make sure I get it by July 5th since the ladies will be putting batting in all the quilts and quilting them together the night of the 6th.

So anyone in? Please? :)

Email me if you live far away at stephaniexrobertson(at)gmail(dot)com if you need my mailing address! Or if you live around here, just drop off your cheery print 3'x3' top and bottom or finished quilt as soon as you can!

Hooray for the very first My Cup of Tea Sewing Society service project! Let's do this!
