Charity Kits
were made available for members to use for the snowball quilts we will be
donating to CASA. Most kits are 50 6 inch squares of fabric that you will need
to add 220 2 inch squares, sashing and/or borders and backing to complete the
quilts. There were a limited amount of the kits that included the 2 inch
squares. There is some backing fabric available also. There are directions for how to make the blocks on the page Charity Projects 2015. Don’t forget to add the
date you turned in your donation by your name on their list when you turn in your donations so you get your
chance to win some fun prizes at the end of the year.
