Strings for Michael!


HURRICANE MICHAEL STRING BLOCK QUILT DRIVE




What can I do to assist the Hurricane Michael victims?  I gather staples,
water, some other sundry items to send along with a monetary donation--
in my world that isn't enough!  These folks have lost EVERYTHING!
I know that feeling--having lost everything we owned in a fire--
you feel shocked and dismayed about your next step.

Here is a project I can get behind--
That Fiber Feeling blog is on board to assist with this
massive under taking which is sponsored by  UMW Quilting Group at 
United Methodist Church, Montgomery, Alabama.

The Alabama church is asking for 10.5″ unfinished string quilt blocks in any colors you wish.  Multicolored blocks are fine of course.  Quilters on the other end will sew the blocks into quilts, but if you wish to donate an entire quilt or top, they will gladly take that as well.  If you’re like me, you have lots of string scraps lying around.  These go together quickly, are relaxing and make an easy way for helping others.  There are lots of string block tutorials online and this craftsy one is good, even if it’s a different size block.  Whatever tutorial you use, keep in mind to trim your block to 10.5″.  cut your base squares into 11″ squares.  

Send your 10.5″ string blocks to:

UMW Quilting Group, Hurricane Quilt Drive, Aldersgate United Methodist Church,  6610 Vaughn Road,  Montgomery, Alabama 36116
