There are 3 different colors: dark, medium and light labeled for your convenience. I have a list of 29 guild members willing to help with the OWQ Country Store raffle quilt. Please pick up a packet ASAP to make the formation blocks for this quilt.<b> Each packet is labeled with a number, 1-15. </b>Please sign out your packet on the sheet attached to the clipboard in the box so I can track the packets. There should be enough material in each packet to make at least 3 blocks. If your cannot make 3, please return the material with your completed blocks so others can make more. If you make 3 or more, you can keep the left overs for your stash. <br></div><div><br></div><div>If you didn't get a packet because they were all gone, we still have things you can do to assist with making the quilt.</div><div><br></div><div>Our goal is to have all completed blocks returned by The March guild meeting on Sunday, March 8. Sooner is even better! <br></div><div><br></div><div>The ultimate goal is to complete this quilt by July 12 in preparation for the 2027 quilt show year!<br></div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for being willing to give of your time, energy and wonderful sewing talent!!!!!<br></div><div><br></div><div>*** The written instructions in the packet state the unfinished size should be 6 1/4 inches, but it will be 6 3/4 inches unfinished, and 6 1/4 inches finished. As always, DO NOT TRIM THE BLOCK!<br></div><div><br></div><div>Shari Lyons<br></div><div><a target="_blank" href="mailto:lybra@mcn.org">lybra@mcn.org</a><br></div><div>707-684-0831</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I figured many of you will be going to Sew-n- Sew on Wednesday- Saturday to take advantage of their sale so I thought this would be a convenient time for you to pick up your packet! Special thanks to Dee Goodrich for helping me choose the fabrics & write the pattern instructions and to Sharon Lau for testing the instructions! </div></div><br></body></html>
