1st DELIVERY OF DENIM

Mid-January saw me trucking down Highway 395 South to visit with friends at the little Presbyterian Church in Ukiah, Oregon.  I had the back of my jeep loaded with 43 pair of jeans, ready to face the rotary cutter and become quilt blocks! 

There was a large storm front moving in.  Previous days had seen some sub-zero temps and wind with drifting snow.  The highway had been closed at least once for less than favorable conditions.  Ukiah is one of the most picturesque small towns in Eastern Oregon.  Turkeys roam the main thoroughfare and life is simple and quiet. 

Welcome

Welcome

We are so pleased you have come to visit here! 

On this welcome post I will try to include all pertinent information.  I have created this forum to facilitate the pickup of denim that is donated.  We have drop boxes available, or you can contact me to arrange a pickup of your donation. 

At this time we have two super local businesses helping us out. Our DROP BOXES
FOR DONATIONS: Archie's Restaurant on the corner of 395 and Main in Pilot Rock AND Rooster's Restaurant on Southgate in Pendleton. Our thanks for the assistance you've offered!

In the past year, I've had the pleasure of processing jeans from two estates , individual donations, and a community yard sale. Washing, folding, packaging the items for delivery to the wonderful lady who is the engine behind these wonderful gifts. 

Ruth and John of Stitch and Chat Quilters in Ukiah have been creating wonderful denim quilts that are gifted to local veterans. The ladies of the Stitch and Chatter group help Ruth and John in putting the quilts together.

Stay tuned as we post updates.

It is an honor to be part of a project that honors those who have served our Great Nation!
