Crib Quilt Sewing Project

We are so excited to begin our first sewing project in the ward!  If this looks overwhelming to you, just remember that this is not a difficult project and you will have guided help each step of the way!  Estimated time of completion: 3-6 hours.  Cost approx $20 or less.  If you missed the sign ups, and are interested, send an email to Leslee Lai.  (see below)

Here are the specifics for the quilt.

You only need to buy fabric. The first class will be the cutting class. We will buy only the fabrics highlighted in blue first as I will give you some different options for the lining and batting. If you are needing or wanting help in your fabric selection, this Thursday, 8 April I will meet shoppers at Hobby Lobby to give ideas and help with yardage amounts. Please email me if you want to meet at Hobby Lobby. I will do a 9:30am meet and a 7:00pm meet. Remember that Hobby Lobby closes at 8pm. If there are any other questions please email or give me a call 426-4197.
