• “Quilt for Kids” Volunteer Days—Marion Nichols
Participants have a wonderful time at our monthly volunteer event—they have already made and donated 211 quilts during the first 6 months of 2008! We can't believe how much they get done in a day while having a lot of FUN! Marian Nichols will continue leading a monthly volunteer day where you can come and make quilts that will be donated to kids through the hospice program at Children's Hospital (Mpls. & St. Paul). We provide quilt supplies, coffee and instruction. Bring your lunch or head over to one of the neighborhood establishments. Participants should have basic rotary cutting and machine piecing experience. There is no cost to participate but you must pre-register for each month's session.
Tuesdays • 10:00–4:00
Dates: Sept. 2, Oct. 7, Nov. 4, Dec. 2
