I wasn't sure where to start the newsletter this week. It's been such a heartwrenching time watching our fellow Texans go through so much.

I'm happy to report that our Katy staff made it through the storm with minimaldamage and no evacuations. Our Katy store also managed to get throughwithout much damage. The water licked the building but didn't make it in.We need your help! We're collecting donations for Harvey victims in Katy

should you have a pillowcase or quilt you'd like to donate.And finally we can't begin to thank you enough for the thoughts and prayers

during the storm! It truly means the world to us knowing we have yoursupport. Hugs to All. - Michelle

The devastation in Houston and surrounding areasis heartbreaking. I know we all want to do

something ~ anything we can.

So let's do what quilters do best - GIVE!

We're accepting pillowcase and quilt donations forthose displaced by Harvey.

Here's a link to a basic pillowcase pattern.

Everything collected will be taken to our Katy storeto be distributed to residents in shelters and those

in most need.

If you'd like to help in other ways the organizers arelooking for thread and backing fabrics. You can

find their posts and requests on Instagram.

THANK YOU and GOD BLESS TEXAS!
