February News Letter , 2015

Hello Blanketeers,               

                                                             

The Ground Hog may see his shadow on the 2^nd and bring us another 6 weeks of winter and if he does, then I guess we can stay inside and make some more blankets. Not entirely a bad thing. Especially as we are looking forward to a wonderful National Make a Blanket Day on the 21^st. Here is a list of the Quilt Shoppes that are participating in this year’s event.

With all of the fun events that are coming up this year many of you Blanketeers have responded to my request of assistance in cutting the several bolts of muslin needed to be prepared for those events. Still more help is needed and as I have the muslin ready, I will let you ladies know. Thank you so very much.

In the event of severe weather please go to our blogspot and face book page listed below to see if our meeting may be cancelled. That way we are not interfering with the Quilt Shoppes daily business by calling them.
