July Program - Christmas in July
Friday, July 16th, in person!!!

Picture
​Here it is July already, so let’s think “Christmas in July”! We are actually going to be able to meet in person for our day of sewing! The day of our “Christmas in July” will be FRIDAY, JULY 16th, at the Lutheran Church of the Risen Savior in our regular meeting room. PLEASE note the date change! We are leaving masks to your discretion. If you are fully vaccinated and feeling well, masks will not be required. If you would feel better wearing a mask, please feel free to wear one!
We will start setting up at 9:00 and hopefully be sewing by 9:30. If that’s a little early for you, feel free to join us when you can. Lunch will be provided and bottled water will also be available. If you would prefer tea or a soda, you are more than welcome to bring it. We will probably start closing up between 2:30 to 3. Lots of sewers are needed, but there will be a few non sewing jobs available also. Hope to see you there! Janell Duncan, Charity Chairperson

What are we sewing now?
  Whatever the community needs. . . 

Here's a Note from our Charity Chair: Janelle Duncan.
Sewing and giving donations to our community is an important part of our Guild.

From May 2020- December 2020, we donated:
  •  Diamond Children Hospital....... 32 quilts and some surgical caps 
  • Hands of a Friend........32 quilts, 20 totes, and 50 Christmas stockings
  • Project Linus........... 25 quilts 
  • St. Andrews Clinic........30 quilts, 6 receiving blankets, 80 totes, and 200 Christmas stockings
  • Valley Assistance........ 700 Christmas stockings




Our Charity Bee has been keeping active with sewing donations even in this unpredictable time. These donations are given to Hands of a Friend, Valley Assistance, the Veterans, and St. Andrews Clinic.
Now with the virus, we are finding out that giving the donations to the organizations are in somewhat wait and see mode. But we are still sewing and giving to whom we can.

Two of the more popular items to sew are twin to lap size quilts and totes with handles. These are available in kits or you can ask for a pattern to work on your own. We also have kits for making surgical caps and walker bags. 

 At this time we are not meeting as a group, but kits are available for pick up at 1242 N. Paseo de Golf in Green Valley. Donations may also be dropped off there.

The quilt galleries (below) show some of the donated quilts we've made recently.
