December Palouse Patchers Newsletter 

Palouse Patchers Meeting 6:00 PM on

Tuesday, December 3, 2024 
1912 Center, 412 East 3rd Street, Moscow

Meeting program: 

There will be no Tool Time and no streaming at the December Party Meeting. But, you will want to bring cash or checks because we will have a portion of Debbie Brudie’s estate for sale at bargain prices. Many beautiful asian fabrics, batiks and prints! Deals galore! 

  A few things to remember for our annual Christmas celebration:

  • Nonperishable food item for the food bank 

  • Food for the potluck and bring your own drink 

  • Anyone who shares a favorite tip, tool or technique will receive a fat quarter. The presentation only needs to be one to three minutes long. If possible, please bring items to show. 

  • Raffle block. Please contact Karen Owsley by phone or text or email  if anyone would like background fabric to make an additional block or have not received the fabric to make a block. 

  • Projects for show and tell. 

  • Anyone wishing to bring a center piece for dining tables, please contact Karen Owsley.

From the President – Mary Silvernale-Shook

I hope to see a great turn out for our December meeting and potluck.  If you haven't attended in a while, we'd love to see you!  Be sure to check the newsletter for a list of things to bring and remember the 6:00 PM start for the meeting. There will be a small business part of the meeting and Show and Tell.  I'm also looking forward to hearing your Tips, Tools, and Techniques!  Be sure to mark your calendars for the Comfort Quilt Sew Days on January 24-25th where you can work on any charitable quilt, or come and we'll put you to work!  

Volunteers needed - Donations Committee - Mary Silvernale Shook 

Sally Amador has been heading our Donations Committee for a number of years and is ready to hand over the committee so we're looking for a chairperson and volunteers to serve.  It's a small committee that gathers for a limited time to research and make recommendations of how to spend our budget line item for donations for supporting quitting and fabric arts in our community.  It's one of the ways that Palouse Patchers gives back. Please contact Mary Silvernale-Shook if you're interested.  And a shout out to all the work Sally has put in to head this committee!

Quilt show 

The 2025 Quilt Show “Around the World” will be held on April 12 and 13, 2025. A packet of information for quilt shops interested in providing a booth at the show has been sent out. Packets are also available on our website at www.palousepatchers.org. We will welcome your donated items for the Palouse Patchers Boutique starting at the February meeting. Our plan is to have them priced before the show to help with a smooth first day opening. Suggestions for items to sell are: placemats, zipper pouches, pin cushions, baby quilts/blankets, cozy bowls, potato bakers, potholders, table runners, tote bags, purses, and wall hangings. Remember that Friday night (6:00-8:00) is the night members and their families can tour the show for free. 

Comfort Quilt News - Jill Huffman and Joan Cass

Thank you for the quilts donated at the last meeting. 
If you have kits you picked up at last year's sew day we would like them back, even if it is only the top, we can get them quilted. Or if you need batting or backing we have some. 
Hope to see lots of you at the 2025 sew days, 24-25 January 1912 Building.
