MAY UPDATE

MAY UPDATE:

The new Flyers are up!  Bright yellow to draw the eye....  

Delivery this month was 81 pair of jeans to Ruth.  I had a wonderful visit with the Stitch and Chat Quilters.  Lunch was awesome...  I was kind of nice... my contribution was FRUIT... but I went and spoiled it by providing a bowl of caramel for dipping. LOL!   Our collection efforts have kept Ruth busy this spring.  She tells me there are 25 completed quilt tops at this time!  Going to be some happy recipients. 

Hope you will all stop by the Quilt Show in Ukiah at the little Community Presbyterian Church.  Lots of eye candy, meet the quilters... there are items for sale.  JULY 4th celebration is a PLUS.  One of the BEST fireworks displays I have seen in ages!  

APRIL UPDATE: PHEW!

This is going to be a pretty short update.  April consisted of mostly collections, which have understandable slowed a bit.  It takes a while to get a rhythm going. 

Our total collection from April is 72 pair collected!  ~~~Happy Dance! 

We are keeping Ruth busy, and that makes my heart glad! 

VERY grateful acknowledgement to our DROP BOX SPONSORS:  Rooster's Restaurant (Pendleton)  Archie's Restaurant (Pilot Rock) and Baxter Auto Parts (Pendleton)  You are SO appreciated! 

Deep and sincere appreciation to all my "helpers"  We are a big happy family!  Thanks to HollyJo for helping with the dropbox pickup, and Neva for standing in while I was incapacitated.  It is so good to have friends and family involved!  

Thanks to donors who have filled our dropboxes.  Please know that we love your <3 for helping our cause!   

On a lighter note, I did take time with family and friends to attend the 41st annual Wenaha Muzzleloader Rendezvous.  I love quilting (which is how I met the fabulous maker of our Veterans Denim Quilts)  On the way home from Rendezvous I found... in the far reaches of NE Oregon... almost to Washington... In tiny Flora Oregon, on the the east side of town.... A barn... on the barn????  A QUILT BLOCK!  Sunshine, family, friends and a perfect picture!  GOD BLESS ALL!
