ETQG – Summer 2016 – Page 1 of 5
I hope that you are
weathering this summer
as well as possible. I don’t
seem to want to do much
of anything (Ballad of
Billy Joe, anyone?) but
A/C can help and our
Project Linus Workday, August 13, at
Jean R’s promises to be almost too cool
to tolerate.
Jean is offering her building’s
recreational room with irons, large
cutting mats, an on-site kitchen and
barrier-free access, so no hauling a
machine on a flight of stairs.
We are offering amnesty for anybody
who wishes to return a kit that they
haven’t found time to work on, hoping
it will find a better home and, if you
don’t have something on line for a
Project Linus quilt, please bring 6 inch
squares of lights, brights and children’s
fabrics for making quilt tops.
We look forward to seeing you there.
Linda Van Lierde
Project Linus Workday
Saturday, August 13th
10:00 am to 5:00 pm
110 Unity Road
South of Danforth off Greenwood
Buzzer code is 179
Take the elevator to basement level and enter
the large, bright, air-conditioned workroom.
What to bring:
• some 6-inch cut squares in child appropriate
fabrics
• any incomplete Linus Kits you have
because it’s Linus Amnesty Day!
• and your lunch – stay for the day
Coffee, Tee and Snacks will be provided.
Please RSVP through [email protected]
so Jean will know how many chairs to set
out.
June Meeting Program – Al Cote
Our speaker for the June meeting was Al Cote who showed us an
amazing selection of his work. Space limitations permit only a small
portion to be shown here. Very inspirational! Enjoy!
