Charity Bee

November meeting will be on the 20th .
Charity bee meetings have change to the Third Tuesday each month .  

Fabric Carousel, 1101 12th St., at 9:30am. Watch for extra work dates to be added soon.

Charity Bee meets monthly to make small quilts for local Charities that service children and other helpful items to donate to the hospitals and nursing homes of Huntsville.There is always good conversation and of course a good lunch. If you can join please come help out the community by doing something you love!

A Hug is a simple quilt made for a child in need which ranges in size from baby to large lap size. We have pre-cut kits, batting, backs and binding. If your working on a charity top and need something to finish it, come to bee and we can help.

If you are unable to attend bee then please, consider doing a project at home. You can either use a Charity kit from us or from your own stash.

For more information

Purpose

• Promote charitable projects for our community
• Investigate community charities for potential gifts
• Provide information to the Executive Board meetings for their vote
• Distribute designated funds by year's end
• Distribute designated goods in a timely manner

   Wanted Quilters!!!!!   Wanted Quilters!!!!!

Charity Bee is in need of quilters to quilt the hugs that we donate every year to our local Charities.
We have tops ready to quilt.  They can be tied, machine quilted or hand quilted. They are just the right size for you to learn free hand machine quilting on or stitch in the ditch with your walking foot. If it isn't as pretty as you want it to be or your stitches are not quite right, we don't care.
They just need to be held together and you know what, pretty soon you will be quilting like a pro!

Please contact Robin Rodriquez or Susan Craig if you would like to work on a quilted Hug.  

attention!!!

Ladies, save those UPC labels from the Hobbs packaged batting.
Any size will work. You can turn them in to me at the guild meetings, leave them in my folder or the charity closet at the Fabric Carousel. Also, Doris will trade us a yard of fabric for every 4 Fat Quarter bands we turn in. So, if you are not using yours please, donate them to Charity Bee.

Thanks, Robin

Donations for Good Shepard Mission

Please do not bring can goods and food items for the Mission to the guild meetings. We are no longer collecting food. We will only be collecting cash donations at the guild meetings. We feel that cash will better suit the needs of the Mission, enabling them to purchase perishable foods.

Thank you

Charity Bee-

I would like to challenge every member to quilt a charity quilt by the end of November.  We have boxes of tops that need to be quilted. Becki Marsh keeps us supplied with about a dozen new tops each and every month so we really need help in getting all these tops quilted. Attendance to Charity bee has dropped, but the need for our donations has not. Please try to make arrangements to attend Charity bee, it is only ONCE a month. We need everyone's help with this endeavor.

I'll see you at Charity Bee,
Susan Craig
