CARE PACKAGES FROM HOME - Click here
Learn More About Care Packages From Home
In 2007 a group of military veterans from the La Costa Glen Retirement Community in Carlsbad, California started a charity called "Care Packages from Home." It is led by Dr. Les Tenney, a former World War II POW who survived the Bataan Death March. Dr. Tenney never received a care package while overseas, so he wants to make sure that our service men and women know America still supports them.
We are an independent 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing some measure of comfort from home to our fighting men and women. Care Packages From Home stands out from other military based charities in that CPFH has no paid employees and is run entirely by volunteers. This enables us to use donations much more efficiently than other organizations. One-hundred percent of the tax deductible donations we receive are used for purchasing the goods that we put in the packages and the cost of shipping the packages.

APRIL Stripping on the Blvd. Class
"Japanese Stars and Lanterns"
Pattern by Carolyn Foreter
PATTERN IS PAPER PIECED............
Create a simple block that transforms itself into twinkling stars and lanterns, while also using up your
scrap strips and strings. The name of the pattern originates from the early 1900s; it's a great design for
using up lots of bits of fabric left over from other projects. You might use one fabric for the star outlines
and the border, as this will help to unify all of the other scraps. Or you can create a fun and truly
"scrappy" quilt by not worrying about this and just using scraps!

Pattern Sugg. Retail: $10.95
Class Date: Friday - April 13,, 2012
Time: 10am - 4pm

Copyright for Quilters
Are you curious about copyright? What are your rights when you purchase a pattern? Do a few changes make the design yours? Could you be violating the law if you sell your quilt? At QNM, we've heard from many readers who are confused about how copyright laws apply to them and their quiltmaking. This series of three QNM articles from 1998 written by Janet Jo Smith, a quilter and practicing attorney, addresses many of the often-asked questions about copyright. - Click here
