Placemat Palooza for Meals on Wheels

Join us on September 23, October 5, or October 29. Click here to sign up or call 231-922-6766.

The event will take place at InterQuilten. The room will be open 11am to 4pm. Bring a dish to pass if you want to participate in a pot luck lunch, or simply bring your own lunch.

Placemat Palooza is our annual drive to make and collect placemats to go out to seniors and shut-ins served by the Meals on Wheels program. The placemats we collect are delivered by MOW Drivers with clients' Holiday Meal in December. Our goal is to collect 500, so we need everyone's help! As of 9/17/19, we have 106, so we're on our way!

We provide fabrics (and we accept fabrics donated by anyone wishing to help, or wanting just to clean up their stash!) Bringing your own fabric is fine as well. We also provide flannel as a replacement for batting, because we are asked to make the Meals on Wheels placemats thin.

We will demonstrate a different pattern or technique on each date. Why not come and learn a new technique that you can later use to make gifts of your own?

Can't make it to one of our events? There are other ways to help: Get together with friends to make placemats; enlist the help of your guild; Clean out your stash and donate fabric.

We will be accepting donated placemats until early December.
