I hear you all have your fabrics starched up! If not, here is a starching video…and way back in January when we thought it was almost time to start we did this post on getting ready.

Hogs for Heroes- Please Help!
If you know me, you know I am a little adventurous …so when Hogs for Heroes crossed my path knew I had to do something to contribute! Something a little unconventional, for a quilter…I know the obvious thing to do would have been to make a quilt…but I dream a little bigger than the average stitcher….let’s make a quilt and raise some money and buy a Harley Davidison motorcycle, which will change one deserving vet’s life forever!
The result….This American Quilter’s Stitch Along is a fundraiser for Hogs for Heroes…Please read all about them HERE. We are hoping you can find it in your heart to donate something to this awesome cause….We want to raise enough money through Primitive Gatherings and it’s American Quilters to fund our own HOG for a deserving vet.
There are three ways you can donate…
We have set up a bank account at Nicolet National Bank and funds can only go “in” not out! Brandon my banker is taking care of everything… so you can send a check to Primitive
Gatherings-Hogs for Heroes mail to: Nicolet National Bank 550 S. Green Bay Rd Neenah, WI 54956
We have a PayPal account that drops directly into the same H4H account as well. Our email is hogsforheroes@primitivegatherings.us
If you wish to donate directly to Hogs to Heroes please note that it is from an American Quilter and hopefully it will be credited toward our campaign..
Skip your coffee or that MDs diet coke today and give the money to one deserving veteran….we really don’t need a lot from anyone just a little from everyone.! Thank you!
Here are some ways money can/is being raised…
If you bought your FQ bundle from Primitive Gatherings we have already donated $10 for each FQ bundle…and rounded it up to $6000 in our Hogs for Heroes account! For those of you who have purchased your FQ bundle from other shops, we hope you wish to donate as well using one of the methods above
Form your own group at your local quilt shop and start stitching together….together you all can make a donation as a group…share your progress with us while you gather together while making this fun quilt. Fat Quarter Shop has graciously donated $750!!! So Awesome!
Send us a check and tell us who you are honoring with your donation, a son/daughter, a brother/sister, a dad/mother, grandfather/grandmother a friend..we will read/post your letter/pictures on one of our social media platforms! I really look forward to this and hope some of you take this opportunity to talk about your favorite Vet!
Let’s help them recover any way that looks!
Sew let the fun begin and show me your blocks! Please….Lisa
