Charity Report
April Lotto block update:
Do you happen to have orphan blocks sitting around that you will never get around to putting into a quilt? Please package up your orphan blocks and UFOs (that you don't want or need anymore) and send them to your local Antler to put into a charity quilt that will help someone in need feel warm, safe and loved!
The Antlers are still hard at work trying to collect donations, please contact your
local Antler for any supplies you may need to make a charity quilt to donate in the name
of RPLOTN. Soon we hope to have a stash of batting, and fabric as well as
"kits" put together for quick and easy charity quilts.
We are also all in desperate need of Hobbs UPC codes in order to purchase batting for
charity quilts. Please, please, please send those empty Hobbs packages to your local
Antler so that she can buy batting. We need your help to make more charity quilts.
The Antlers need your support!! If you have suggestions please feel free to contact
any of us at any time. We are here to help :)
And finally, we have discussed the charity/lotto block program and decided to extend all
of the Antler blocks throughout the year. Please take a look at the Charity page to
see each Antler's block selection. You can send as many sets of blocks to as many of
the Antlers as you'd like. Each set (one block for charity and one block for the
lotto) will consist of 2 blocks of the same pattern (they can be different fabrics) and
will earn you a chance to win all of the lotto blocks collected throughout the year.
You can send to any of the Antlers, not just to your local Antler. Each Antler will
collect the blocks made in the pattern that she posts on the Charity page. Remember
that each set of 2 blocks you send gives you one chance to win the lotto blocks at the end
of the year. The drawings will be held at the December meeting!!
Please support your charity program in any way you can!!! We look forward to a very
charitable year!!

Something very strange going on !!! Because the second picture was one that I took on Boxing Day - for those non-Canadian folk - that would be the day after Christmas - yes back when we WANT the white stuff !
Then - March came in like a lion - and left like a lamb.
Well - fast forward to April 1st - and we look more like we did in December - with hardly any snow. Mother Nature is must be a quilter - she works very fast and always has something different for us to look at every day.
It has been quite the month for some of our RPLOTN quilters. Our cyber friendships are very precious - and as we move on into the refreshing feel of spring - take time to reflect on the support we can give through our thoughts, prayers, candle lighting, quilt making for others. Support your guild thru the Opportunity Quilt sales and through the participation in the various projects on the go - lotto blocks, Dear Jane,
Speaking of support - the www.qovf.org site is up and running! And the Canadian branch is also up and running with a project already underway! Visit the site to see how we can support Canadian soldiers!
Smoky, thankful she is able to complain about the snow! (which by April 1 is gone again!)
