Sewers alert! The Do-Day closet has been cleaned and the pieces of colorful fabric
have been matched and put together in plastic bags. Now we need them sewn together for quilt tops or backs so we can make quilts for Lutheran World Relief. The bags of fabric are in cardboard boxes in the Fellowship Hall. Each bag should contain enough fabric for at least one top. Please take a bag (or a few) home and use your creativity to make a top. The directions for making them with the correct sizes are in the boxes also. We hope those of you who sew but cannot come to Do-Day will share your talent this way..
