Just One Star
can comfort a soldier

The challenge is to piece, quilt and bind 100 quilts in 100 days using the Flag of Valor pattern by Minick and Simpson. The deadline for star blocks is May 1, 2011 so that we can meet our quilt deadline by Flag Day, June 14, 2011.

We need 1800 star blocks to reach our goal. Please take a few minutes to piece Just One Star block using a medium red or blue and a cream background. Better yet, invite your small group or even your entire guild to make Just One Star block. Sign each block with your name and state.

Then we can truly say....the hands of a grateful nation comfort our soldiers!

Thank you for your help!

Humanitarian Sewing Projects
Every Thursday Leisa Sorensen is hosting Humanitarian Projects at her home.

You can go anytime from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. Anyone is welcome to come and sew, or take a project to work on at home. There is plenty of room to work and store projects in her basement. Also, if you have any fabric, batting or other sewing supplies, donations are appreciated but not expected.

You can come anytime, and there is usually a group of us working from 12:00-3:00. We are currently working on getting a couple of scrap quilts ready to tie. We also have fabric ready to make recieveing blankets, booties, wall hangings and school bags.

Please tell us if you know of any other Humanitarian needs that we could make projects for. This would also be a great time to work on quilts for Haiti to donate to the Utah Quilt Guild.

If you have questions call Carolyn.
