We hope that in your planning for the New Year, you consider including a quilt for ALS.
"ALS is a devastating disease that leaves a person's body paralyzed while their mind & spirit are alert & active. By participating in the Hopes & Dreams Quilt Challenge, you can help raise awareness about ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), bring warmth & hope to the lives of ALS patients, and also help raise much needed funds for research for a treatment and cure."
(source: https://www.quiltersdreambatting.com )
Donated quilts are given to ALS patients or used to raise research money for ALS by being photographed, displayed, auctioned or raffled. In addition to contributing your quilt to a wonderful cause, ALL donated quilts are eligible to win wonderful prizes."
Thank you for considering supporting this important work.

Block kits will be avalable at the October meeting for a strip block set. Please consider donating 1 hour of your time to take a kit and make up the blocks. We only need 15 volunteers and we will have enought blocks for 2 ALS quilts. Rachael will assemble and quilt for our first group ALS project. Rachael will provide a demo of the block construction at the October meeting. Blocks are due at the November meeting.
