There will be no workshops until August. It's time to enjoy the summer with our families.
Linda is in need of a purple cat to complete a welcome kit for a child. If you have a stuffed toy like this or see one at the store, it would be wonderful.
While there are no workshops going on, there are still welcome kits being made. Donations are still welcome and can be dropped off with Heidi anytime you like!

90+ Degrees Outside
The first day this year to tip the 90 degree mark, and I am certain you are thinking about fleece, right?
Blizzard print fleece is on sale at Joann Fabrics from June 26 to July 16 at 50% off. That makes it just $4.99 per yard. One yard and a half makes the ideal size for a fleece blanket for our project.
Just wanted to let you know there's a deal starting soon.

How would you like to help?
Here's a chance to help on the Heart to Heart project!
We need a space where quilt frames can be set up to work on five small quilts that need to be tied. We can work on one or two at a time depending on the space available. We will need to coordinate some work times to tie those quilts, and it would be very handy to have someone there with some experience tying those quilts. The space and the experience do not necessarily have to be the same person.
We have a tote bag that needs to be replicated. We need somebody who can develop a set of instructions based on the prototype and run a how-to workshop so others can learn to make the tote bags.
If you are able to help with either of these things, please let Heidi know.

Current Needs
Here's the latest information from Linda. She has used the fleece blankets we tied last month at our neighborhood's night of service. A whole bunch of amazing welcome kits were assembled using them. The need at the shelters is great, and Linda is on record pace for supplying kits to the shelters in the valley this year.
These are the things that are currently needed or in very short supply:
