Merryman House 2017
Posted: Sun Feb 05, 2017 11:06 am
Dear Friends,
I have received word from Orion that I will be working for QIAD in Paducah during the AQS Show in April again. So I will be continuing the tradition started many years ago (I think 2008) by Linda Parker, who was the founder of this forum and the QIAD Marketing Director.
Merryman House is a shelter for abused women and their children in Paducah, KY. We have provided quilts for the women and children all these years, and they have been so appreciated. When times are difficult for these ladies and kids, a quilt brings much comfort. Any size quilt is welcome and any pattern can be used. In the beginning we always used QIAD patterns, (and they ARE the easiest!) but now we do not specify that. I'm estimating that we have given in excess of 200 quilts over the years. Sadly, the need is always there!
The whole town of Paducah really rolls out the red carpet for quilters during quilt week, and this is one way we can say 'thank you' that is really appreciated.
Quilts can be sent to me and I will deliver them to a representative of Merryman House during Quilt Week, which is April 26-29. I will be heading to Paducah at least a week ahead of that time, to help QIAD prepare for the show.
My address is:
Ann Drothler
99 Marian Circle
Crossville, TN 38555
Thanks so much!
Any questions, just send me a message or post on this topic!
Maryq just reminded me that pillowcases are also needed and loved by those at Merryman House!
