I think of this as the Giving and Being Thankful Season. At Serendipity we are thankful for all of our customers and friends. I am especially thankful for my wonderful staff, (and of course my family).
We have several opportunities to give to our community.
|
|
- Placemat Project. We are making placemats to be given to those who are homebound and receive meals at their home through the Cheer centers. There is information about this on our website: www.serendipityquiltshop.com. Thanks to all who have already made and donated beautiful placemats. And thanks to Lenny, who came up with the idea and has already delivered over 300 to the Cheer center.
- We are continuing our tradition of making Christmas stockings for the women who will be living in local domestic violence shelters over the holidays. The SQS staff will be making 30 stockings and hope that you will consider helping us to fill them with new women's hats, gloves, scarves, socks, lotion, and lip balm or other toiletries. Other donations requested and that will be collected here are: new PJ's for women and children age 3 and older, slippers, unwrapped new simple toys like art supplies, play doh, non- battery operated toys and games. We will supply the wrapping paper. We will be getting these items to the People's Place staff in early December. These gifts are tremendously appreciated by the families in the shelters.
- The Quilts of Valor sew day held 2 weeks ago resulted in 4 quilt tops! The next sew day is not until March, but we will always collect blocks and fabric donations (red, white, blue) dropped off at the shop for the new coordinators, Dana and Marguerite. Please consider bringing your machine in and sewing some blocks on March 28th.
I hope you will consider participating on one of our "Giving" programs.
Hope to see you at the shop soon! Kathy and the staff.

I met Edwina at a Delmarvalous Quilt Guild meeting as I was preparing to open the shop in 2008. We immediately connected and she began working with me on the day the shop opened. Since then she has taught over
75
Beginner Quilting Series! Besides those 3 day classes, she has taught and continues to teach classes for curves, paper piecing, punch needle, bags and many other projects. You have never had a kinder, more patient, knowledgeable teacher! If you have taken one of her classes you have no doubt heard her say "We can make it work".

Manx Quilting - At first glance these blocks look like traditional log cabin quilt blocks. But their construction is different, in a foundation-pieced quilt-as-you-go method using strips of fabric. The Manx method is inexpensive and portable. It requires no fancy notions or batting, uses up scraps of fabrics, and is easy, FUN and addictive. No sewing machine is required as this is a hand stitching class. Anyone can accomplish Manx stitching! Nearly all of the Serendipity Staff are making blocks using the Manx method. NO SEWING MACHINE REQUIRED
