Songs dedicated to all my quilting blanketeers

Setting Up Headquarters and Blankets Collected Recently
The Merry Month of May
Hello Blanketeers!
The open house was Sunday April 22nd and the Headquarters is officially up and running.
This means on certain days you should be able to get in from 9:45 till 3 pm to drop off blankets, pick up any supplies that are on hand and to work on any projects using the machines that are available…
We have a large cutting table, iron boards, 3 sewing machines, (a long arm that is getting set up but not quite ready for use yet… will let you know ASAP )
The week of May 1st I plan to be at Headquarters on Wednesday MAY 2nd only.
33 Valley Center Place
(Off of Hooker Road by the PUD/Chevron Station turn left if out of Sequim/ right if out of Port Angeles. Go about 1 block turn left, just past the Fudge stand… we are between Loop and Stitch and Country Care Vets)
Friday MAY 4th I will be at the Gardiner Community Center for those that want to bring a sack lunch, and work on projects there with me.
I will bring Iron and iron board, one sewing machine, and a large cutting matt.
I also have some fabrics and lots of books and magazines for you to look thru.
Please bring your own cutting tools (rulers, scissors, rotary cutters), and whatever project you are working on.
Headquarters will be opened May 7th, 9th, 12th ,14th, 16th , 23rd, 26th, 28th and 30th.
If you would like to be the volunteer in charge of headquarters and lock it up after the last person leaves on different days please let me know so I can get you a key.
My dream and vision is to let everyone have access to it at their convenience but will need help to make that happen.
