Donations! Donations! Donations!

Wow!  We have received so many fantastic donations of supplies this month!  Five big boxes/tubs of great cottons for shields and bags, and flannels for liners have been delivered in the past 2-3 weeks to Our Sewing Room.  Nice busy, darker, pretty prints--perfect for our needs!  And last night at the EVQ guild meeting, two people sought me out and gave me big bags of fabric--also carefully selected and ideal for our kits!  

When I was first in contact with the Days for Girls headquarters, and the woman I spoke with learned that I was a quilter, she was delighted, saying that quilters had the best fabric.  These pictures of just some of the recent fabric donations from quilters sure prove that point!

 These cottons will work very well for bags and shields.  Busy, medium to dark, and pretty!

Great flannels!

Aren't they all wonderful?

In addition to these delightful fabrics, we've also recently had much appreciated gifts of polyester thread, drawstrings for the bags and snaps for the shields.  Amazing!

Thank you so much to our donors!  We have Days for Girls in-kind donation receipts available--just ask.  We get so excited about the fabric that sometimes we forget to mention it.  The receipts are also available for other donations--underwear, Ziplocs, PUL, polyester thread, washcloths, etc.  If you purchase items for DFG, save your store receipts and staple them to our form.  If you made a donation and didn't get your DFG receipt, I'll have some at the EVQ show (we'll have an information table) October 4th and 5th, and they are also available at Our Sewing Room.  

And if you are one of the mystery donors who contributed without leaving your name, we'd love to know who you are!

There are also receipts for monetary donations, although the best way to contribute money for the next few weeks is online through Crowdrise in connection with the DFG Global Sew-a-thon--you'll need your credit card number and will get a receipt to print off immediately.  Our Eugene/Springfield team will receive a check for 100% of the donations.

Thank you, thank you thank you!!
