March, 2015
Hello Blanketeers,
A huge, big, gigantic Thank you to all of our Blanketeers that
participated in our annual Make A Blanket Day. This year we took in 261
blankets from all of the locations that had hosted a MABD. This total will go
up when we have our MABD at Zanadu Fabric Yarn & Craft on the 28th.
So grateful for our dedicated Blanketeers that did come out on such a snowy day.
March 21st
Mercyhurst University’s Alpha Beta Pi Chapter of the
International KDP Education Honor Society:
Will be sponsoring a
Zumba-thon on Saturday the 21st from 1:00-4:00 with the proceeds to
benefit NWPA Project Linus. This event is only open to students and staff of
Mercyhurst University.
March 28th

Our Mary Lubin will be having
a class on the Missouri Star Quilt Receiving Blanket. Please go to
Zanadu Fabric, Yarn &
Crafts Face Book Page for further information about the fun day the girls have
planned.
In the upcoming months our
calendar is a bit full of fun activities, if you are interested in helping with
any of these events, please let me know.
With all of the fun events that are coming up,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.
