Ellie's Cafe
10701 S. Hale Avenue, Chicago
An open house for all Chicago quilters is being held to coordinate donation efforts. Quilters who wish to help by making a quilt or baby quilt, donating quality cotton quilting fabric or bating (no polyester, please), donating a quilt top, donating quilting service (longarm or other), or collaborating with another quilter are welcome. Those who don't quilt may wish to donate JoAnn's or Hancock Fabrics gift cards or cash. All quilts will be sent to the Ellen Medlock Studio Store (in Tulsa, Oklahoma) quilt drive for the victims of recent tornados in Oklahoma who have lost everything in their homes.
Matt OShea and the 19th Ward office will pay some or all of the postage, depending on response.
