Good luck and bring home lots of blue ribbons!

Quilt Labels We would like all donation quilts to have a label stating "Donated by Eastern Polk Quilters Guild 2018". We will have some labels made up and available to pick up at the guild meetings to be added to your donation quilts. If you wish to make your own labels that would be fine also. Cindy Alcorn ccmtm@msn.com 423-5939 This is a picture of one of the quilt labels that are available. They are done in black, blue, and brown thread, so you can choose the color that suits your quilts the best. Take one, two, or all three colors! For each twin quilt donated, your name will be entered twice into the year end drawing. Members At Large Our charities this year are Taylor house (twin size), Bright Kavanaugh house (long twin size), Veterans home, and Broadlawns Hospital for baby quilts As always, we are looking forward to seeing your donations. Please sew, sew, sew! Donation Quilts If you are wanting a donation quilt top kit, please contact Marsha Horner at 515.979.7218. She has new kits available. All of the fabric for the top is included in the kit, as well as a pattern. It s a great way to be able to contribute to donation quilts if you don t have a lot of fabric yourself or have a hard time choosing colors or patterns. Please take advantage of these kits in order to help our charities. Page 2
