Quilts and Burp Cloths:

 

Gather your fabric scraps because this year we will be making wheelchair quilts for men and women of the Veterans Long Term Care Facility located in Aspinwall, PA along with Baby Quilts and Baby Burp Cloths for Choices Pregnancy Services in Center Twp. This is a great way to use up some of those scraps you have accumulated throughout the years! There are lots of easy “scrappy quilt patterns” on Pinterest, and I will also be posting easy scrappy quilt patterns on the website.  Bring your completed quilt top to a Guild Meeting and you can choose a quilt back and batting to complete your quilt.

 

Wheelchair Quilts should measure approx 36” wide x 36-40” long (so they don’t get caught up in the wheels) Baby quilts can range from 30”-36” wide x 40-45”

 

Dog and Cat Beds***:

 

We will continue to donate pet beds to the Beaver County Humane Society. They are easy to make and can be any size. For example a medium size bed measures approximately 22”x22-30”, or about the size of a pillow case. Use a sturdy outer fabric such as duck cotton, canvas, denim, fleece, quilted fabric, etc. and fill with clean, odor-free fabric scraps and quilt batting NO LARGER THAN 4” square. Larger pieces make the bed hard and lumpy- not soft and comfy! Do not fill with paper or plastic and double check that there are no pins, needles or trash items in the filling.

 

***If you are only donating the fabric scraps they must be no larger than a 4” square. It is very time consuming for me to cut the scraps into adequate sizes and fabric scraps not suitable for stuffing the beds will NOT be accepted.
