ABC Frenzy
This is a fun day where we finish as many baby quilts as we can for sick hospitalized children in Brooklyn.  So please bring all you baby quilt tops that you want to donate, or finished baby quilts.  We'll have some batting and backing fabrics available, but if you have extra in your stash, please bring it.  Also bring your embroidery floss or pearl cotton to tie quilts.

We also need irons & ironing boards and sewing machines.  If you can bring these, please email the guild at brooklynquiltguild@gmail.com and we will forward it along to the appropriate people so they can organize the room setup. 

So, bring your quilting supplies, finished quilts, quilt tops, and most importantly your enthusiasm to our May 15th meeting.  Pizza will served to keep up our strength. 
 
At last year's Frenzy, over 2 dozen quilts were completed - let's try to double this number this year!
