• Instead of each birthday girl receiving her favorite color, the birthday girl will receive the  favorite colors  of each giver to make scrappy quilts.
• Each person will be gifting the birthday girl (8) large triangles and (4) small triangles. The birthday girl will then add 8 large and 4 small triangles of background fabric to your gift to complete 2 blocks. I will post pictures on the birthday tab ASAP.
• If you choose to use 2 fabrics it will be 4 large of 1 fabric and 4 large/4 small of another fabric. 
• Anyone want to swap more than one set to make a bigger quilt?

I'm still working on pictures for the birthday page.

Also, please put your name on your quilt if it doesn't have a label - I use blue painters tape on the back

======================================    

Red, White & Gratitude - Bev Edwards (Castile, 585-493-2444) is collecting patriotic quilts (60x80) for a quilt show at the Warsaw Legion Hall on November 4th. Smaller items can also be donated and will be used as door prizes. After the show the quilts will be donated to Wyoming County Vets. All donations can be dropped off at the store since Bev doesn't have storage space. Can you believe that Bev is only expecting 25 quilts??!! Lets all pitch in to far exceed that number!

Hexie Club is working to make a donation quilt. Each member is asked to make 3 rosettes with 1.5" hexies in red and blue fabrics. We will discuss appliqueing the rosettes to white squares at the July meeting. Can't make the July meeting?/ Then please drop your rosettes off at the store, send them with a friend or take them to Sarah's office. All quilts are due  11/1/17 so we don't have any time to waste given our busy summer schedules...
