Clothesline Club 2009

January, February, March - 2010
"Little Blessings" Fabric Collection

Clothesline Club 2009 begins April 7. We are excited about all the new fabric collections and projects for the new club year. Please plan to join us whenever you are able for creative ideas, great projects and friendship.

We will begin our fourth quarter of the 2009 Clothesline club on Tuesday, January 5, 2010. This quarter will feature projects from Darlene Zimmerman’s “Little Blessings” collection. Our projects will include two simple small quilts and a Mama's Helper Diaper Bag. You won’t want to miss these projects to make for a special little one in your life or for a special little one who would receive your quilt through the Linus Project. Yoder Department Store is a Project Linus collection point and we will insure your donations are treated with care as they make their way from your hands to our local chapter.

Each month at Clothesline Club you will receive a free newsletter from Darlene, instructions on completing the new projects, a history lesson, have an opportunity to share in show and tell (remember to bring your projects to share), and receive a coupon for 15% off all Darlene Zimmerman patterns, kits, fabric, books and notions purchased on club day. Pick your favorite time: 10:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m., or 6:00 p.m.

See you on the first Tuesday.

Happy Stitching, Cheryl
