Project Linus Sew Day Feb.10, 2012

Hey all!

Just a quick email to let you all know that this Friday’s (February 10, 2012) Linus Sew Day at The First Christian Church has been Canceled. The church needs the kitchen area for a family dinner that will be taking place after a funeral.

The next Scheduled Project Linus Sew Day will be on March 9, 2012 at the First Christian Church from 9:00-2:00. I will be teaching a new pattern titled “Wonky Baby” you can find the pattern on the Moda Bake Shop Website if you want to have a look! If you want to try out the new pattern bring along 2 yards of a SOLID fabric (or nearly solid marble or blender print) to use as your background. You will also need 52, 4″ circles from various prints. I will help you with cutting circles during sew day if you do not have a circle cutter. It is also possible that a few circle fabrics will be available pre-cut at the sew day “IF” I have the time! Also, as always, bring along your basic Sewing supplies. Lunch on this day will be on your own, so be sure to bring a sack lunch or feel free to have lunch at one of our many local eating establishments!

Also, on February 17th, the Effingham VFW will be holding a fundraising dinner for Project Linus. The Pork Loin dinners will be available to eat at the VFW or the can be purchased to go if you want to take one home with you. Deserts of any kind are being asked for to go along with the dinner, if you would like to donate a desert you can bring one or more to the Effingham VFW on February 17, after 2:00pm or you can contact Sharon Shields (our local Linus Coordinator) about a drop off at her home. Also there will be a need of any extra hands to help serve the food, so feel free to stop by the Effingham VFW if you want to volunteer some of your time.

Most of the Linus Sew days this year will be taking place on Fridays at The First Christian Church. We are looking into trying to have a couple of Saturday Sew Days at the Beecher City Kluthe Building. More info on the Saturday Sew Days will be available once the arrangements  have been completed!

Thanks to all that have help to make our local Project Linus Group what it is today!

Hope to see you at a Linus Sew Day Soon!

Hey Ladies!

i just wanted to add that i will be at sew day Friday cutting fabric and bagging up quilt kits! We could use some more gallon size ZipLock type storage bags to bag the kits in, if you want to donate a box please drop them by the church on Friday, or if the church is open on Thursday (you might want to call and check first, as i do not know the hours they are open!) you can leave them in the storage room with the Project Linus Fabric.

Thanks in advance!
