  • The Bayshore ladies had a parking lot reveal of the baby quilt challenge in June and there were 36 quilts that will be donated to Grandma’s House in Bend.  Those quilts are included in the above tally.  Our inventory is improving, but we still need more bed sized quilts, especially male themed.

We are also very short on pillowcases, any motif.

FACE MASKS delivered: 1558

We have a small inventory on hand to meet urgent needs.  We could use more kid-sized if anyone is still up to making face masks.  Twy had a request from her daughter-in-law (school nurse Philomath) for masks for the kids to use if/when they return to school, which she took care of by herself!

This committee has purchased elastic from our local quilt shops for members to use in mask making.  Please call Sue Stephenson (661-904-8130) and she will get whatever you need delivered to you.

We now have 3 small quilts made from the porch drop house block challenge.  Thanks Jean!  There are 5 blocks left to be set into a quilt.  I’m looking for volunteers!  They also need to now be quilted.

Ruth’s Family Fabrics in Waldport closed their doors effective 7/17.  On 7/21, we moved all our fabric and tools from Ruth’s to a room that has been so generously donated to us in Lee Palmer’s Tax Service building, also in Waldport.  Veteran’s Quilt Project will be sharing this space with us, and Twy relocated her supplies into this new space also.  As we are not meeting right now, we are just using this as storage space, but plan to conduct our monthly meetings here when we can do that again.
