Pensacola Quilter’s Guild

2010 Christmas Charity Drive

Thank you to all the members who participated in the Christmas Charity Drive for the Children’s Home Society. The guild came through for the underpriviledged children of Pensacola in a big way as we knew you would. Many children will have a brighter Christmas because of your generosity. We collected and presented 124 pillowcases and 142 giftcards to CHS. Members made the most adorable pillowcases out of animal prints, kids in print, floral prints, cartoon characters, and other wild kid friendly prints. Every pillowcase was special and each one looked fantastic! We know that the children will love and cherish them.

Thanks for a wonderful 2010 Holiday Drive! Barbara Emmons & Herbie Morin

Last Chance! PQG Annual Holiday Charity Drive

This year the guild will participate in sponsoring the Children’s Home Society of Pensacola. Each member is asked to participate by donating a $10 gift certificate from Target, Walmart, or purchasing a gift card of their choice, or contributing cash for the children. Donations will be accepted at the September, October, and November meetings. We hope that all members will choose to participate in this optional charity drive to make this a wonderful Christmas for our community children who are served through the Children’s Home Society.

Also, we will collect pillow cases to be donated to the children. Patterns for pillow cases can be found below. If you need help in getting a pattern, I will place copies of the pillow pattern in the PQG library. The November meeting will be your LAST CHANCE to contribute, so tie a string around your finger and don’t forget!

Thanks for your help and support for PQG’s Christmas Charity Project, Barbara Emmons, Night Group Herbie Morin, Day Group
