We delivered 15 quilts
to students in a
Bradenton school for
their reading time. The
teacher had seen an
article in the Bradenton
Herald newspaper over
a year ago, and asked if
we would make some
quilts for her students
since the ones they were
using had seen a better
day. Delivery day was a
great day.
Our thanks to those that
helped in making it
possible. Also to
Brenda, Jan, Sandi,
Robin, Rose, and
Victoria, for taking the
time to deliver the
quilts. A special thanks
to Rose for her tireless
dedication to
Community Service.
We would also like to
thank the Bradenton
Herald for the publicity
and photos taken by
Brian Blanco.

On Tuesday, December 4th, Rose Ryan made a delivery of 50 quilts to Hope Family Services for family members to stay warm and comfortable now and in the future. Each member receives a quilt of their own. Thank you Guild Members and friends for your time and beautiful quilts.

| Our teaching program with Bradenton School students was a great success. The students, all part of the school craft group, wanted to learn how to make a quilt. The project began last Fall and the girls worked very hard to complete their quilts in time for our 2008 Quilt Show. For most of them, this was the first time to make a quilt or, for that matter, use a sewing machine. Each students chose fabric, learned to use a rotary cutter and follow pattern directions. The quilts were tied and bound, given a name and a label was applied. They liked the project so much, their next project is a rag bag. They are all very proud of their accomplishments and thank the Guild for its support and volunteer teachers. The parents, who picked up the girls at the end of each class, also are so proud of their children. Here’s to the next generation of quilters !! |
