04-09-2020 Stay calm, and keep on sewing!Thank-you!!
This week 169 masks were delivered to the shop! The masks have been distributed to the Summit Nursing Home, the Pleasant Trees Senior Center, the Manor Nursing Home and the Philadelphia Hospital. Shop Status Due to the Governor's mandate the shop is closed until the ban is lifted. I will in the shop Tuesday through Thursday from 10am to 5pm to fill web and phone orders and sew masks. Much of the shop's fabric is posted on our website for your viewing pleasure. If you need something, please call ahead and we can arrange for a curb side pick-up or I can mail the item to you.
Hospitals & Nursing Homes Need Your Help! The need for masks continues for our hospitals and nursing homes. So I am asking you to get out your stash and make masks!
If you do not have the stash to spare, a generous quilter is willing to donate kits containing pre-cut fabric to make masks following the video tutorial seen at the Missouri Star Quilt company for the rectangular pleated masks with ties. Each kit will have enough material to make 6 masks. If you need a kit, please email the shop at qcrow@ptd.net to make arrangements for pick-up. The shop will be a drop-off site for the masks. Please put them in a plastic bag and set them on the shop's porch during the day on a Tuesday Wednesday or Thursday so I am sure to see them. I will distribute them to the nursing homes and hospitals that have contacted me. If you live in the Lehigh Valley you can deliver your masks to the Lehigh Valley Hospital at 2024 Lehigh St. Allentown, Monday- Friday between 9am and 3pm. Deb Ranck and a group of quilters are still sewing masks. Because of the "Stay at Home" mandate, they are sewing in their homes, instead of meeting at the Heritage Center. The word of their work has spread and they are now receiving orders from medical centers for masks. Consequently, the ladies need donations of cotton or cotton/poly fabric. If you can help please, contact Deb at 484-425-0255 or email at quilter@ptd.net.
Stay Calm and Make Masks!
