From Your County International Chairman

KEHA Coins for Change

(Pennies for Friendship)

The KEHA Coins for Change program supports

international projects through both KEHA and

the Associated Country Women of the World

(ACWW). Each year, half of the funds collected

through Coins for Change are forwarded to

ACWW for their Pennies for Friendship Program.

The other half stay in KEHA to support programs.

Please be sure to collect coins at each or your

meetings and turn them in to the county

treasurer. Our goal is to double what we

collected last year.

Quilt Club News

Most of the members are still

working on blocks from the book

Farm Girl Vintage by Lori Holt for

their Row-by-Row quilts. In the

meantime, we are making some

patterns for really cute small items and acquiring new

techniques as we do. We all learn together as we work on

these adorable projects. July’s technique is quilting as

you go making a log cabin block. Some people will make

one for a pillow shame while others may choose to make

enough for a whole quilt. In order to give these members

enough time to finish their blocks, we will learn how to put

them together in March. Come join the fun! Mark your

calendars for July 17 at 6:30. We are meeting in the quilt

shop on Shelby Street until the extension renovation is

completed.

You will need a 16” square of backing fabric and batting

plus several light and dark 2 ½” fabric strips. You will also

need one 2 ½” square for the center.

Tip of the month: If your needle is sticky from sewing

through interfacing or other gluey material, sew through

a small individual, unopened package containing an alcohol

swab. (The kind used when you are getting a shot.) The

alcohol will clean the needle.

What’s

for

Dinner

Mark your calendars

now for the third

Wednesday of each

month. The “What’s for Dinner” Classes will

resume on Wednesday, August 16, at

6:30 PM at the Pendleton County

Library.

At the August session we will cover herbs.

Class will include Rub and Seasoning

recipes as well as discuss how to harvest

your fresh herbs and preserve for future

use.

We will be sampling several recipes and

making a few simple recipes to add to

our dishes. Class size will be limited so be

sure to call the Extension Office to register

for the class.

More details will

Can’t wait to

start meeting
