Quilty Peeps,
Goodness, here we are heading to September! I just want cooler weather!
I had a chance to speak with Terrell State Hospital this month and they are doing another service for our community starting September 1st. I’m not sure if you are aware of the CPS crisis we have in Texas. The demand for foster care is exploding, but there are very few people stepping up to help. TSH will start taking in foster children that need placement. The news media has shown CPS workers taking turns staying in motels with children or staying all night at a CPS office. This is a serious crisis that is occurring in our state. Roughly 17,000 to 21,000 children are in foster care at any given time in Texas. TSH can only take a maximum of 30 children due to the size of their building. With this being said, I have asked Molly to help me gather throws to give the children. My goal is to have 30 by Christmas. TSH was told that they would start getting two kids per week. But we all know if they are desperate to place a child they will fill up faster. It’s my understanding that the ages will be 12-17 years old. So, anything from flowers to baseball. Or even just neutral colors would be great. I hope you will be able to help me meet this goal. I can’t imagine being ripped from my home as a child with nothing but the clothes on my back and then dropped off in a strange place.
Now, on to happier conversation! The Plano Quilt show is this weekend, and I am excited to go. Also, the Mrs. Roper’s Shop Hop Romp is August 21-30. There are 16 shops with free patterns and prizes.
Quilt Country has their 31st anniversary the weekend August 21. So, now that y’all know my schedule don’t act like you don’t know me if you see me out in my Kaftan and wig. 🤣 I know no one raised their hand to volunteer much at the last meeting. Please, don’t make me call and beg or show up at your front door looking like Helen Roper. It takes an army to make this beast go forward.
In the words of John F Kennedy & Hope.......Ask not what your guild can do for you, ask what you can do for your guild!
Love,
Hope
