ROAD TO TENNESSEE BLOCK PACKETS

We now have available for pickup Road to Tennessee block packets. Each packet contains the materials and guidelines for completing two Road to Tennessee blocks. This is a fun, easy, and of course, voluntary, way for our members to participate in one of DMQG's Charitable Projects Initiatives. After the holidays, all blocks completed and submitted by you - our amazing and generous DMQG members - will be pieced together to comprise quilts that will go to local individuals or charitable organizations that will benefit from the comfort these quilts will give.

It's easy to participate:
  • Pick up your packet at a monthly meeting.
  • Go home, look up the Road to Tennessee block instructions, check out your stash of plain white fabric (this'll make sense when you read the packet instructions), and get sewing.
  • Bring finished blocks to the next DMQG monthly meeting (returning in the plastic baggie is appreciated, recycling and all that).
We would like to mention that we are able to go forward with this project only because of generous member fabric contributions. So, a big thank you for sharing - of stuff, time and talent!




CALL FOR WONKY CROSS BLOCKS

Wonky Cross Block Donations. For our first charitable project, we are requesting 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" (finished) Wonky Cross blocks from DMQG members. No rules or guidelines for fabrics or colorways - so go crazy creative and bust that stash! The tutorial for this block can be found here. Bring finished blocks to our next meeting, and we look forward to seeing your blocks.




SUPPLY DONATIONS

Fabric Donations. We are accepting fabric donations for fabric cuts of fat quarter-size or larger; and pre-cuts such as jelly rolls, charm packs, and layer cakes.

Batting Donations. We are also accepting donations of packages of batting.

All items donated will go toward projects that will be given to community organizations and members that will benefit from the comfort of DMQG quilts.
