Merryman House 2016

Post by gmaann » Sat Jan 30, 2016 3:25 am

Hello Friends!

Once again I am asking for quilts and pillowcases for the women and children at Merryman House. Merryman House is a shelter for abused women and their children in Paducah, KY. Every year at quilt show time the city of Paducah rolls out the red carpet for thousands and thousands of quilters. In 2008 Linda Parker, QIAD's Director of Marketing suggested that El's Angels do something to thank Paducah for the wonderful hospitality. Since that time we have provided well over 150 quilts and probably that many pillowcases for the women and children at Merryman House. They are SO appreciative. If you can provide a quilt or a pillowcase I will be collecting them before the AQS show, which is April 20-23 this year. Items can be sent to me if they will arrive by April 10th or to my attention at the QIAD store in Paducah, where they will hold them for me. Or, if you are coming to the show, look for me at the QIAD facility!

This is a great comfort to the women and to the children. And Quilt in a Day is so happy to put some joy into the lives of women who have been abused and have needed to seek shelter from their abusers.

PM me for my address or the address of the QIAD store in Paducah if you can help.

Thank you!
