24 Jan Community Care Committee

2025 came in with a wallop! I don’t have much to report as we didn’t have our January guild meeting and we have not given out any quilts yet this year. Our group that puts together kits down at the Bethesda Senior Center will continue to work hard to give you projects to take home and complete. Pictured is Denise Stokes and myself battling a roll of batting. That batting didn’t want to give up its cover, but with a lot of tugging we prevailed! Needless to say, there was a lot of laughter that day.

Come join us at the Bethesda Senior Center to cut fabric for pillowcases, owl buddies, bags, and quilt tops and backs. Or sew some of the items while there (we have sewing machines). However, the biggest contribution you can make to our committee is picking up a project (or two) at the guild meeting, taking it home and completing it. You have all been so faithful to do just that over the past years – thank you! The organizations we donate to really appreciate our quilts and other goodies.

Our work days are the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month at the Bethesda Senior Center. February work days will be Feb. 13 and 27. We start at 9 am and finish at 2 pm. Bring your lunch! If the weather is bad, we will cancel the work day as the country roads to get there are curvy and hilly.
