"Nap Blankets"

Location: St. Timothy's Episcopal Church in Drake Hall, 2575 Parkway Dr

Our "Back to School Nap Blanket Sew-in" took place on Saturday, August 21st, 2010.
Many thanks to the 13 faithful quilters from the guild as well as
members from St. Timothy's Episcopal Church who produced a total of 49 nap blankets in 6 hours!!



(And that even included a quick lunch break where we gathered around a table away from our machines!)
Several took fabrics or kits home to make addition blankets for this year's distribution in mid September.
St. Timothy's has volunteered to let us use their large hall free of charge
for our Out Reach projects so we are planning another Sew-In in the near future.

Those straight line seams end up looking curved – it is an optical illusion which has fascinated quilters for a long time! Though this design has traditionally been done in shades of blue, John has updated the look in colorways and in scraps.
