Come prepared to sew. If you cannot come, you can participate in various ways. Donate fabric in patriotic colors and themes, use some of the donated fabric to make blocks or even a top. Patterns will be made available soon for your convenience, or use one of your own in a patriotic theme. Operation Homefront homepage--has pictures of quilts that have already been sent. You don't need to send your contributions away. Our local operation will take care of that. (Please, no July 4th themes! – rockets, firecrackers, fireworks, celebration-type, etc.) Size: Either 40 by 60 inches, or 50 by 70 inches.Pictures of the finished quilt, together with the maker(s) and the Bernina dealer (Judy, I suppose) need to be taken as part of the gift to the family of a fallen soldier. The Sewing Basket has generously offered to provide the backing and batting
for these quilts, and fill in with background fabrics as needed.
