Service Q & A
Q: How can I help?
A1: Do you crochet? We have a few items that are hem stitched that need an edging put on.
A2: Blow the dust off your serger and take home a few fleece blankets to finish for Welcome Baby. Pick up other projects at our guild meetings.
A3: We currently have many tops ready to quilt. Please contact Sarah Yorgason if you are able to machine quilt any of our donations.
Q: Where do you get the fabric for all the service projects?
A: So far almost all the fabric has come from donations from guild and community members, although we do have some guild budget money. Most fabric comes from members like you cleaning out your closets and making room for new treasures. I can use flannel, polar fleece and
cotton quilting fabric.
Q: Can I make a quilt top for charity and turn it in?
A: YES! Certainly. If you have tops in your stash, turn them in and we will find a way to finish it up and give
your quilt the perfect home.
Q: I want to make a quilt for charity but I can’t afford to pay for machine quilting.
A: Go ahead and finish as much as you can. We have several members who will quilt charity tops for us. If
you want to do the binding yourself, be sure to attach a note to the quilt so I can get it back to you.

"Many Hands" Calendar
**Added Dates until Sept 2025**
This group is a support for the guild's mission statement of providing service. The name evokes the true adage "Many hands make light work."
Sarah Yorgason will be heading this group. Meeting dates will vary from month to month, while the location and activity varies as well. You might be cutting fabric scraps or donations or putting together charity quilt kits. So look at the activities each month to find the ones that fit your schedule and preferred activity.
