Project Linus of East Tennessee
is Celebrating National Make-a-Blanket Day
Twisted Sisters Sewing Day * Saturday,
February 18th * 10 AM – 3 PM
IMPORTANT NOTE: You need to call to reserve a space if you want to sew all day with a machine.
Location: Twisted Sisters Quilt Shop at 424 Marilyn Lane Alcoa, TN 37701. Come ready to sew and/or learn more about Project Linus.
- An Open House at Twisted Sisters where you can talk to the Project Linus of East TN coordinator, Deb Miller, and other volunteers to learn more about Project Linus. Examples of Project Linus blankets will be available to help stir your creative juices.
- We will also have a few games to play thanks to our game wizard Sandy Rees and you can participate in a fun “make-a-quilt-block” event to contribute to a group blanket. There will be prizes and door prize drawings.
- Come quilt/sew for the day – to ensure a space, please call Twisted Sisters (865 980 0950) or stop by to reserve your space. You just need to bring your machine, sewing supplies and a selection of thread. Space is limited.
- Come quilt/sew for an hour or two – a few machines will be set up for those of you that want to stop in and make a quilt top or block. All supplies will be provided. This is a first come, first served opportunity.
- Quilt kits will be available for a donation.
- Attention Knitters and Crocheters: We haven’t forgotten you. Bring your latest Project Linus projects and join the fun.
- Do you have quilt tops to finish to donate to Project Linus and can’t quilt them? Drop them off and we will get one of our long arm quilters to finish them. Please provide backing and binding if possible.
Do you have Project Linus blankets or fabric (1/2 yard pieces or larger) to donate? You can drop them off. Please put donations in a bag with your name and number of blankets in the bag. Twisted Sisters is a regular drop off location for Project Linus blankets.
There are places to eat within walking distance and a short drive from the shop.
