05-14-2020 Masks needed on the Navajo reservation



                                               June 21st to August 31st
 

The Row by Row experience has transitioned into Quilters Trek, a new color-guided shopping adventure for quilters. Quilters Trek is similar to the Row by Row program, but with fresh new features.
The theme is a color! True Blue for 2020.
Shops will offer kits designed with predominantly blue fabric. This allows quilters to create quilts that are more pleasing and cohesive.
The shops will create "designs" (not rows). Four 9-inch (finished size) blocks that can be arranged as a row or as an 18-inch square. Shops will give away the block pattern for their design to anyone who comes in their store. Shops will sell kits which contain the fabric for the four blocks.
Kits will be sold in-store ONLY. Patterns are given in-store ONLY during the event.
Each kit will have a Fabric Token hidden inside the kit - like a cracker jack prize. In addition, each shop will receive 3 Golden Tokens (also 2-1/2 inch fabric squares). Finders of Golden Tokens will be featured on the new Golden Selfie Facebook page.

Rules to win are a little different. Quilter must complete a quilt (quilted, bound, labeled) using 32 nine-inch block designs from at least 8 participating shops, which means 4 blocks from each shop. After that they can include whatever they want… even rows from previous RxR years.
Each shop will offer a prize of 15 fat quarters plus a bonus prize if the quilt includes the shop’s blocks to 2 different quilters!

MASKS Update
Although the need for masks has decreased in our immediate area thanks to all of your efforts, there is still a need in other parts of the country. A customer has informed me that there is a great need for the masks on the Navajo reservation. They have lost many people from the covid-19 crisis, and are in great need of masks for adults and children.
They ask that you send a note with your donation as to where you are from and that each mask is marked adult or child and put in a zip-lock bag.
You can send your masks to the address below:
Byrd’s Nez
1101 N Apache Ave

Winslow AZ 86047
 
Thank you for all your efforts to keep our communities safe!

What Else Are You Making?
 Below are pictures of Maryann Templin's  adorable  wall hangings, and her quilt.

                         
                
               
Although we cannot physically get together for show and tell,  we can still share our creations. Send me a picture of your project and I will post it  in this space to inspire your fellow quilters and make them happy.


Shop Status
The Governor still has Carbon county in the red zone. I realize many of you have cabin fever and need your fabric fix.  Therefore, beginning next week I will be allowing quilters into the shop by appointment only. Each appointment will be for 1hr on either Tuesday Wednesday or Thursday. The first appointment will be a 10am and the last appointment will be at 4pm. Only two people will be allowed in the shop at a time. Each person will be required to wear a mask. I will give you a pair of disposable gloves to wear when you enter. You will have 40 minutes to shop, which gives me 20 minutes to sanitize the shop before the next person comes.

 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.
