Stitchers needed ....
Hello,
We are in desperate need of stitchers to help with the latest deployment for the 103rd Armored Division of the PA National Guard. We will need approximately 4,500 pillows by December. I checked with the FRC who said the numbers have not changed on the soldiers being deployed despite President Obama's speech on bringing all the soldiers home. We are also in need of patriotic quilt fabric for the backs.
Any help will be appreciated. If the EGA Yahoo group members
who are with ANG would crosspost this message, I would be grateful.
EGA groups: please contact me off list for my address. My email is mkaminski2@stny.rr.com
Thank you,
Anne Kaminski

Camp Quality
Camp Quality Illinois Cruise 2011
Our morning to teach at Camp Quality will be Friday, August 12 from 9 to noon. Our project will be felt nautical flags in the letters the child chooses (my initials are flagged above).
We need volunteers to teach on the 12th, volunteers to help cut felt pieces and plan how to lead this project on Tuesday July 26 (location to be determined), and donations of felt and perle cotton and size 20-22 chenille needles.

The felt colors should come close to matching DMC White, 742 Gold, 796 Blue and 321 Red.
It doesn't take much perle so felt is the most needed item.
